Did you know music can be used as an ergogenic aid?
Listening to your favorite music during a training session appears to decrease session RPE by improving mood and increasing arousal.
Although the exact mechanism as to why listening to music may enhance performance is unclear, it likely stems from a combination of both physiological and psychological factors, and altering our focus of attention to external information.
Not everyone is motivated by the same type of music however so it’s important to account of individuals responses.
What’s your favorite song to listen to while training?
Two of my favorite songs to PR to are Future - Low Life, and Metallica - Face to Black 🙈 #prsong
