Key result
Heart rate adaptive running music increases 10-minute distance by ~13 meters vs no music.
Why the study?
Existing exercise systems have limitations regarding personalization, real-time adaptation, and data privacy during running exercise.
Does heart rate adaptive running music improve physiological, perceptual, and behavioral responses during running compared to no music?
Does heart rate adaptive running music improve physiological, perceptual, and behavioral responses during running compared to no music?
An IoT-based heart rate adaptive music system significantly lowers perceived exertion and alters heart rate dynamics during running compared to no music.

May aid running performance via adaptive music; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
This research proposes a music-adaptive IoT exercise system integrating edge computing and blockchain technology to enhance middle-distance running exercise. The system personalizes music tempo based on real-time biosignals to provide a tailored experience. Experiments demonstrate that adaptive music significantly augments users’ physiological, psychological, and behavioral responses compared to no music, improving engagement and effectiveness. The system overcomes limitations in existing solutions regarding personalization, real-time adaptation, and data privacy. Edge computing enables on-device processing, and blockchain encryption guarantees security. Results highlight the benefits of HR adaptive running music for arousal, pleasure, and performance. This study offers insights into designing personalized, rewarding exercise systems using emerging technologies. It has promising implications for exercise, rehabilitation, and recreational fitness. Further work should investigate specific mechanisms and long-term impacts, integrate additional signals and music parameters, and enhance security. In conclusion, this innovative system combines IoT, adaptive music, edge computing, and blockchain to unlock new possibilities in exercise experiences.

Chen et al. (2024) studied Healthy adults (running exercise) (n=36). Heart Rate Adaptive Running Music vs. No music was evaluated on Distance covered at 10 minutes (meters) (p=<0.001). Heart rate adaptive running music significantly increased the distance covered at 10 minutes (400.07m vs 387.11m, p<0.001) and improved affective and perceptual responses compared to no music.
