MUS may help optimize an athlete’s state of arousal for exercise, which can confer performance gains ( Karageorghis and Priest, 2012). Listening to MUS can improve endurance performance ( Atkinson et al., 2004), explosive power production ( Biagini et al., 2012) and skill-based performance ( Alrashid, 2015). Athletes of diverse ability levels use MUS before or during exercise to enhance performance, motivation, and enjoyment in their training. Music trial (MUS) is a commonly adopted accompaniment to exercise and sport. In conclusion, this pilot study indicated an ineffectiveness of the ABS and VIB to affect subsequent 7-min cycling performance compared to self-selected MUS alone. ![]() Similarly, both felt arousal and feeling scores were unchanged between the MUS, ABS, and VIB trials ( p > 0.05). The results found the augmented MUS interventions did not influence power output with no significant main effect of trial ( p = 0.44, η 2 = 0.09) or trial × cycling intensity interaction ( p = 0.11, η 2 = 0.20). Power output was measured during cycling and felt arousal and feeling scores were recorded at timepoints throughout the protocol. MUS, ABS and VIB trials were performed in a randomized order. Before each 7-minute bout of cycling, participants listened to 10 minutes of self-selected music (MUS), or the same music with the addition of either isochronic auditory beats (ABS) or vibrotactile stimulation via SUBPAC TM (VIB). Six male and five female cyclists/triathletes cycled for 7 minutes at three different intensities: a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of 11 (“light”), RPE of 15 (“hard”), and a 7-minute time-trial. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the ergogenic effects of two commercially available methods of music augmentation: auditory beats and vibrotactile stimulation. Methods to enhance the ergogenic effects of music are of interest to athletes of all abilities. 3Red Bull High Performance, Red Bull North America, Santa Monica, CA, United States.2Department of Applied Psychology, New York University, New York, NY, United States.1Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, United States. ![]() Adam Fry 1, Stephen Braren 2, Nicholas Pitaro 1, Brandon Larson 3 and David Putrino 1* ![]()
