CARNEIRO, João Guilherme et al. Music: psychological ergogenic aid during exercise?. []. , 3, 2, pp.61-70. ISSN 1981-9145.

The use of music has been identified as a potential ergogenic aid that helps to improve performance during exercise. In this context, the objective of this study is to present and discuss the main evidence of the ergogenic effect of music on exercise performance. Thus, the use of music as an ergogenic aid has proved effective during the exercises mainly submaximal (≤70% VO₂máx). However, during maximal exercise (≥100% VO₂máx), although it is found positive effects, their effects have been presented in a smaller magnitude. Furthermore, mechanisms of action of this ergogenic effect remain unclear, demonstrating the need for future studies.
