Abstract: The effect of music on individuals' perception of exercise effort and associated personal pleasure/displeasure during exercise was measured. From a sample of 34 physiotherapy students exercising twice weekly for six weeks, measurements of perception, using the Rate of Perceived Exertion scale, and feeling, using the Rejeski Feeling Scale, were carried out. The research findings suggest highly significant differences between the use of music and no music, relative to the perception of both effort and feeling. This study poses interesting questions regarding the use of music during aerobic exercise and deciding on work levels in a clinical setting. (15 ref)
