the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different music rhythms on cardio respiratory responses during incremental exercises in young men. for this purpose, 17 non-athlete healthy males (ages: 19.76±0.97 yr, height: 176±6.72 cm, weight: 68.5±5.95 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. they performed bruce protocol until exhaustion with no music, slow music and fast music con...

Optic flow on the retina creates a perception of a person's movement relative to their surroundings. This study investigated the effect of optic flow on perceived exertion during cycling. Fifteen participants completed a 20-km reference cycling time trail in the fastest possible time followed by three randomly counterbalanced 20-km cycling trials. Optic flow, via projected video footage of a cy...

The relationship of self-efficacy, a sense of confidence in personal physical activity (PA) skills, to perceived exertion during activity was explored among 168 African American and European American boys and girls between 9 and 17 years of age. Participants walked/ran on a treadmill at a speed equivalent to 60% of their peak VO2 for 20 minutes and provided ratings of exertion every 4 minutes. ...
