This study used the psychophysical approach to investigate the impact of tempo and volume of background music on the maximum acceptable weight of lift (MAWL), heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of participants engaged in lifting. Ten male college students participated in this study. They lifted a box from the floor, walked 1–2 steps as required, placed the box on a table and walked back twice per minute. The results showed that the tempo of music had a significant effect on…

The effects of background music on the work attention performance between musicians and non-musicians
TLDR
It is found that a musician's attention performance is better than a non-musician's and that background music tends to improve the attention performance of both musicians and non-Musicians, but to a greater extent for musicians.
Team manual handling: A systematic review for identifying research gaps.
TLDR
The results of this study emphasize the need for further research, especially using the epidemiological and physiological approach in different tasks of team manual handling in real work environments using experienced workers.

TLDR
Healthy individuals performing submaximal exercise not only worked harder with faster music but also chose to do so and enjoyed the music more when it was played at a faster tempo.

The effects of music tempo and loudness level on treadmill exercise
TLDR
It is confirmed that fast, loud music might be played to enhance optimal exercising, and how loudness and tempo interact is shown.
Maximum acceptable weights, heart rates and RPEs for one hour's repetitive asymmetric lifting.
TLDR
The maximum acceptable weights and static strengths were significantly lower and heart rates and RPEs were significantly higher for asymmetric lifting than those for symmetric lifting in the sagittal plane.

Relationship Between Exercise Heart Rate and Music Tempo Preference
TLDR
Results indicated there was no three-way interaction for music preference, and only partial support was found for the expected linear relationship between exercise intensity and music tempo preference.

The effects of synchronous music on 400-m sprint performance
TLDR
Synchronous music can be applied to anaerobic endurance performance among non-elite sportspersons with a considerable positive effect and supported the first research hypothesis, that synchronous music would result in better performance than a no-music control, but not the second hypothesis that performance in the motivational synchronousMusic condition would be better than that in the oudeterous condition.
