Music increase exercise endurance
Research conducted at Brunel University has confirmed that listening to music while you exercise could increase your endurance by up to 15%. Whilst many athletes routinely use music to enhance their workout this is the first time that research has actually proved its benefits. People often plug into their MP3 players while running or using the gym, whilst aerobics and other class instructors like to motivate people with a thumping bass line. Now it seems that this could supply more than simply an aid to timing and something to divert attention from the burn.
