Impact of Music Genre on Heart Rate during Physical Activity

This project investigates how different music genres affect heart rate during physical activity. Participants ran on treadmills listening to hardcore and easy listening music, with rest intervals. Results showed decreased heart rate with easy listening and little effect with hardcore. Recommendations included more participants, music variety, trial/rest timing adjustments, and course change.
