When it hits, you feel some pain: Exploring the efficacy of music interventions in the exercise domain
Professor Costas I. Karageorghis – Professor of Sport & Exercise Psychology, Department of Life Sciences, Brunel University London, UK
From the dawn of human civilization, ancient cultures sought to combine sounds in a manner that influenced the human psyche. Given recent advances in digital technologies, music applications have come to be de rigueur in the realm of exercise and physical activity. The speaker will explore the structured and systematic use of music as a means by which to improve the exercise experience, while also touching on other domains from his body of work, that will include elite sport and simulated driving. A recently updated theoretical model (Karageorghis, 2023) will serve as a prism through which to explore a series of empirical studies and associated music-related applications. In terms of an underlying structure, music-related interventions can be applied in three key ways: pre-task, in-task and post-task. Music can be used pre-task as a tool with which to manipulate psychological state; most often as a mild stimulant. It can be used in-task, either synchronously or asynchronously, with the synchronous application holding particular benefits for endurance-type performance. The post-task application of music remains at a nascent stage in research terms; nonetheless, initial evidence shows how music can expedite facets of exercise recovery. The talk will be of particular interest to researchers, practitioners, pracademics and students working in the domain of exercise and physical activity.
