Effect of Selected Rhythms and Sound Intensity on Human Performance as Measured by the Bicycle Ergometer

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of selected music, pure tones, and varied music intensity on human performance as measured by an all-out 90-sec. ride on a bicycle ergometer. Three 4 × 4 Latin square designs were used to study the above mentioned conditions. A pooled analysis of the four 4 × 4 Latin squares in each of the three experiments failed to produce any significant differences (.05 level) among any of the experimental conditions.
