Why music makes you exercise 20% harder
At iTrainer we always knew that working out to music made our
workout day more effective, but now heres the science.
LISTENING to a fist-pumping rock song may seem no more
than a welcome distraction from aching muscles on a jog round the park or a trip to
the gym. But it could additionally significantly enhance performance.
Three studies on the effects of music on athletic ability, which have been accepted
for publication in journals next year, show that James Brown, Steppenwolf or even
Vivaldi can assemble you quicker, stronger and more focused during sport.

Research by Costas Karageorghis, a sports psychologist at Brunel University, suggests
that the right music can lift a person’s athletic performance by as much as 20 per
cent.
