About Paper:

Listening to music while working out has benefits to improving how you feel while exercising. Being involved in the gym and our love for being active is what has inspired us to learn about effective ways to workout in a healthy form. In the research we conducted over the span of a month, we have achieved our goal to gain a deeper insight and find reasoning in how music is capable of enhancing our mental performance when it comes to being active. We hope that our project will provide a new sense of knowledge when it comes to listening to music and why we feel as though listening to music is a barrier for a safe workout environment as well as a motivator. Working out or being active is a big part of our discourse community here at the U of O so bringing awareness as well as a new profound love for physical activity is a big accomplishment. Our primary findings consist of how different genres of music have the ability to impact many unrecognizable concepts such as positive association, distraction from discomfort, increased enjoyment, and reduced perception of effort. These effects prove how music is a great thing to incorporate in any physical activity, and anyone's preference can make a difference. We have known and had the opportunity to learn more about why music makes our workouts better and much more motivating. Listening to music is a healthy way to find natural motivation and improvements when it comes to physical exercise.
