研究表明，快節(jié)奏的音樂可以提高運動時的身體表現(xiàn)

Listening to upbeat music while you exercise might improve your physical performance, a small new study has found.

一項小規(guī)模的新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在鍛煉的同時聽歡快的音樂可能會提高你的身體表現(xiàn)。

When women who were training heard pop songs with over 170 beats per minute, scientists say they began to put in more effort, especially during endurance activities, such as brisk walking, running or cycling.

當正在訓練的女性聽到每分鐘超過170拍的流行歌曲時，科學家說她們開始更加努力，特別是在耐力訓練中，如快走、跑步或騎自行車。

Meanwhile, music during short-burst activities, like weight-lifting and interval training, brought less of a performance boost, although it did seem to bring a bit of a benefit.

同時，在比如舉重和間歇訓練等短時間的爆發(fā)訓練中，音樂帶來的提升較少，盡管它似乎確實帶來了一些好處。

"We found that listening to high-tempo music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate and lowest perceived exertion compared with not listening to music," says physiologist Luca Ardigò of the University of Verona in Italy.

意大利維羅納大學(University of Verona)的生理學家盧卡·阿迪格(Luca Ardigò)說：“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，與不聽音樂相比，在運動時聽快節(jié)奏的音樂會導致最高的心率、最低的自感勞累。”

"This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness."

“這意味著這項運動看起來不那么費力，但在增強體質方面卻有益。”

It's important to note here that the study sample used by the researchers is quite small, including only 19 physically fit participants, all of whom were women. Nevertheless, the initial results join a growing body of research investigating the impact of music on physical performance.

這里需要注意的是，研究人員使用的研究樣本非常小，其中只有19名身體健康的參與者，都是女性。盡管如此，最初的研究結果加入了一個越來越多的研究團體，研究音樂對身體表現(xiàn)的影響。

While the topic has fascinated psychologists and neuroscientists for decades, the evidence we have currently is still quite mixed.

幾十年來，這個話題一直吸引著心理學家和神經(jīng)科學家，但我們目前掌握的證據(jù)仍然相當復雜。

Some research suggests that music reduces our perceived exertion, increasing our enjoyment and enhancing performance. By either delaying fatigue or increasing work capacity, in certain cases, music is even said to work as a type of 'legal performance-enhancing drug'.

一些研究表明，音樂可以減少我們的自感勞累，增加愉悅感和提高我們的表現(xiàn)。在某些情況下，通過延緩疲勞或增加工作能力，音樂甚至被認為是一種“合法提高表現(xiàn)力的藥物”。

But figuring out exactly what type of music is beneficial in which scenario is more difficult than it seems. There are so many subtle aspects and features to music, not to mention the complexities of human physiology.

但要弄清楚哪種類型的音樂在哪種情況下是有益的，比看起來更困難。音樂有許多微妙的方面和特征，更不用說人類生理的復雜性了。

The study was published in Frontiers of Psychology.

這項研究發(fā)表在《心理學前沿》上。
