Your performance can improve, too. Studies have shown that listening to a tune perfectly matched to a certain type of exercise will improve motivation. Researchers at York St John University also discovered that athletes who were given ‘invigorating’ personal music were able to lift more than those exercising to an ambient, ‘piped-in’ soundtrack. Test subjects using headphones held a dumbbell in front of themselves for 10 per cent longer than those without.
