Key result
Evaluating ANA across multiple time scales helps identify music distraction effects during low-intensity cycling.
Why the study?
There is a lack of research on the distraction effects of music stimuli with the multiple time scales of biological functions.
Does music stimuli affect autonomic nervous activity and perceived exertion during low-intensity cycling exercise?

Does music stimuli affect autonomic nervous activity and perceived exertion during low-intensity cycling exercise?
A multiple time scales strategy analyzing RR intervals may help identify the distraction effects of music during low-intensity exercise.
Hypothesis-generating for music distraction assessment via autonomic metrics during exercise; prospective validation needed before clinical adoption.
There is a lack of research on the distraction effects of music stimuli with the multiple time scales of biological functions. It should be preferable to propose an effective strategy for evaluating the time-varying behavior (TVB) of psychological responses to music during exercise on autonomic nervous activity (ANA). From the RR interval time series of electrocardiograms recorded during cycling with low intensity, we estimated ANA-related indices: time- and frequency-domain indices estimated from the fluctuations of the RR interval. Then, we searched the temporal distribution of the stimulus-response module (SRM) that appeared in the TVB. The inspection of distraction effects was done for properly selected ANA. Then, related indices and the ratings of perceived exertion for evaluating appropriate participants are based on both the impression of favorability to music and the SRM occurrences. The results inferred that the multiple time scales strategy could be of help to assess the suitable approach to identify the distraction effects of music stimuli.

Bao et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Cycling exercise. Music stimuli was evaluated on Autonomic nervous activity (ANA) related indices and ratings of perceived exertion. A multiple time scales strategy evaluating autonomic nervous activity could help identify the distraction effects of music stimuli during low-intensity cycling exercise.
