Furthermore, this study investigated the impact of music on heart rate, RPE and blood pressure during recovery period. Method: 12 students majoring in orienteering from National Chung Cheng University were recruited. Six were male and six were female. On average, these participants were 165.9±5.8 cm height, 56.9±7.0 kg weight and 20.5±1.5 years old. All participants were asked to take the incremental exercise running exam on treadmill until exhaustion in three conditions: no music, background music with 120 BPM and lyrics music with 120 BPM. Heart rate, RPE were recorded every three minutes and running time as well. After running, participants were asked to take the recovery exam for 40 minutes. Participants took a rest with no music and with soft music respectively. Heart rate, RPE and blood pressure were recorded every five minutes. Repeated-measure One-way ANOVA was conducted for comparing the effects of music. Results: During running, no significant difference was found in heart rate and PRE every three minutes and running time with the intervention of music. During recovery, no significant difference was found in heart rate, PRE, and blood pressure every five minutes with music. Conclusions: Listening to background music and lyrics music during treadmill running could not efficiently decrease heart rate and PRE as well as enhance running performance. In addition, listening to soft music during recovery after running could not effectively decrease heart rate, RPE and blood pressure. Keywords: music, running, recovery
