Key result
Sedative music during exercise in cardiac rehabilitation patients significantly decreased perceived exertion (p=0.0019) and heart rate (p<0.0001), and increased feeling status (p=0.0192).
Why the study?
Does listening to sedative or stimulating music improve ratings of perceived exertion, feeling status, heart rate, and blood pressure in phase III cardiac rehabilitation patients during exercise?
Does listening to sedative or stimulating music improve ratings of perceived exertion, feeling status, heart rate, and blood pressure in phase III cardiac rehabilitation patients during exercise?
p-value: p=0.0019 for RPE, p=0.0192 for feeling status, p<0.0001 for HR
Listening to sedative music during low-intensity exercise in cardiac rehabilitation patients reduces perceived exertion and heart rate while improving feeling status, potentially enhancing exercise compliance.
Supports sedative music in cardiac rehab to lower exertion and boost mood; extends evidence for adjunctive interventions during exercise.
This study examined the effects of stimulating and sedative music on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and feeling status during exercise in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients. Twenty-two male and female older adults age 64 ± 8.0 y currently enrolled in phase III CR completed the study. Repeated measures crossover designs guided data collection. The manipulated independent variable was music condition (sedative, stimulating, and non-music control). The dependent variables were RPE, BP, HR, and feeling status with each represented by four repeated measures ANOVAs over time via SAS 9.3. Data analysis indicated significant differences for all exercise related variables besides BP. While standardizing the exercise, we observed that sedative music is the best choice to manipulate for decreases in RPE (p=.0019), increases in feeling status (p=.0192), and decreases in HR (p<.0001). While standardizing the exercise, sedative music is the best choice to observe decreases in RPE, increases in feeling status, and decreases HR. Stimulating music would only be the correct choice to observe increases in HR, and does not have as much of a beneficial effect on RPE and feeling status as sedative music. There were no significant effects of either type of music on BP.

Miller et al. (2017) studied Cardiac rehabilitation (n=22). Sedative and stimulating music vs. Non-music control was evaluated on Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and feeling status (p=p=0.0019 for RPE, p=0.0192 for feeling status, p<0.0001 for HR). Sedative music during exercise in cardiac rehabilitation patients significantly decreased perceived exertion (p=0.0019) and heart rate (p<0.0001), and increased feeling status (p=0.0192).
