Abstract: This study evaluated the effect of music on the mood of women during exercise. 16 middle-aged women, aged 49.9+/-7.53 yr., performed 60-min. Bench stepping exercise while listening to Japanese traditional folk song, aerobic dance music, or nonmusic. The subjects reported significantly less fatigue with aerobic dance music and Japanese traditional folk song than with nonmusic. Aerobic dance music was associated with significantly more vigor and less confusion than nonmusic.
