MUSIC AND SPORT
"Music is the strongest form of magic", Marilyn Manson already said it.
In fact, there are scientific studies that show that listening to music while doing sports increases performance, the motivation and resistance. We found the study developed byBrunel University, in London, which shows that listening to music during a workout can reduce fatigue by up to 10%.
Although not all the boxes give much importance to the music played during the lessons, according to the studies, it would be essential to put a playlist that gives us the charge!
THE CROSSFIT® AND MUSIC
During the CrossFit® classes, you will always find the same phases: heating, strength / technical part, WOD e stretching. In all these phases the music should follow i physical requirements of athletes and should help you achieve what you want in each of these phases.
Il warm up, the first part of any training, is a phase that begins slowly and ends with a development of greater intensity. Therefore, the music must be fast but not excessive, as it must encourage you to develop the movements.
Imagine a yoga or pilates lesson, in short.
While when performing movements of force, the ideal is to listen to music with high lows and a very strong rhythm. When this happens, breathing is usually accompanied at this rate (unconsciously) and this will improve your concentration and therefore, consequently, the technique. The breathing is the 50% of any physical activity, do not forget!
Already in the years 90 Raf sang "animal heartbeat, it beats like there is none ...". And he was right.
When WOD starts, what you need most is the motivation. The intent is to finish the training knowing that you have given everything and to have reached the limit, at your best.
Thanks to music, your brain is exposed to stimuli that reduce the feeling of tiredness and the body produces up to 15% more.
If then that day is also the METCON day ... We still need more BPM.
Try to accompany a WOD with Assault Bike, ROW, box jumps with a song that gives the charge. You will see that the result will be only one: more constant rhythm e less breaks to catch your breath.
RHYTHM AND FREQUENCIES OF THE HEART
Besides all this, the heart changes rhythm depending on frequency, speed and volume of the music you are listening to. This means that proper music can help improve the music heart rate and then check the blood pressure.
That's why circuit training they are the best for bringing home results. The cardio component must be well balanced and alternated with weightlifting to promote muscle development.
