Psychological affects of trance + working out.

Well here goes,

I have been working out for sometime now. I have a 35 minute cardio routine in which i burn 450 calories. I however have included something different in my routine. Here are the results.

The first week I listened to Hard Trance during my 4 days I do cardio a week. Bascially I burned about 20 more calories than I would have normally burnt during regular conditions. And the time flew by much quicker.

The second week I listened to the DJ Tiesto - In Search Of Sunrise trilogy. This was also done during the 4 days I do cardio. I found myself having a hard time concentrating on those days, and I also burned 15 fewer calories than average during that 35 minute routine.

Week 3 I listened to nothing but 100% vocal trance. This trance was mixed by DJ GT. I found myself keeping pace(between 200 and 210 steps a minute). I also burned 10 calories more than my average burn.

The last week(just finished it 6 hours ago) I endulged myself in the sweet sounds of Ferry Corsten. My chart that I was keeping was more inconsistent due to the fact that FC plays with your psychie during his mixes. He brings you way up and tears you down lower than you can imagine and back again. Also the time flew by at a steady pace.

Now you folks out there tell me what this all means to you. Is listening to Trance while working out beneficial or not? If it is beneficial do you think that my results are more or less skewed by my personal pref of certain sub-genres of Trance? Would you folks out there have different results if you did the same study as well?

My housemate has done a study on this based on bpm and work rate and found that if you match them you work to the beat and are able to reduce the amount of concentration on the actually physical action, which results in the exercise feeling easier to perform.

A side result was also that if u are familiar with the music it has a greater benefit as u adjust to it quicker than music u are not familiar with

Your study is flawed.


A) you have one subject.....you.....if you wanna generalize you are gonna need more

B) practice effects, as you work out, it gets easier (you get more in shape) and you have less carlories

C) experimenter bias, you know your hypothesis, so that effects your study



all in all this study was massively flawed and any stats ran form such a study would result in a p>.05.



You failed.

All very true but it would be pointless running a case study through stats in the first place, as the number of subjects doesn not meet the minimum criteria.

Plus La5er's wasnt really an experiment, more something he tried

you could find correlations but in the end, its useless as you said.



and Im refreshing myself on my research methods material

Very boring subject but ultimately necessary

Try happy hardcore for your rebel needs

its more depressing than boring. Knowing that 99.9999% of research is crap, make my research career look like poop.

99.9999% of research conducted on this thread indicates that the word "affects" is used incorrectly in the thread title.

It's better to look at avg RPM (if you're on a bike, that is) rather than burnt calories. How are you determing how many calories you burned?

Music distracts me too much. It sucks when they're playing stuff on the gym system but it's usually silent enough to tune out.

i listen to ASOT's on my RIo mp3 player while doing cardio on the Precor elliptical machine. I found that i go faster and get a better workout and burn more calories if i listen to Manu Chao instead. so go figure.

seriously dude, I read about all this research ppl do about how media effects our lives and u kno the biggest one is if media violence makes us violent ourselves

so they do all this research and surveys and tests and crap and then in the end they come to the conclusion "for some ppl media violence has an affect on their behavior, but for other ppl it doesn't"

so wow tell me something i didn't kno before... thanks for wasting all that time and money

i find that the majority of humanities based research is pretty lame and useless, there are so many variables that affect our lives it's almost impossible to come to any solid conclusion

but its the best we can do and some results are useful. When you look at such a broad topic as violence you need to pin point it down, which is what most experiments do, and you need to read those individual ones to actually understand wtf they are getting at.


I know Bandura did a shit ton with violence and influence of tv. seemed kinda pointless back then but now he helps a TV production company make serial dramas (soap operas) in countries where they ahve problems. Like in mexico birth rate was outta control so they used banduras techniques in a tv show and condom sales went from like 1 million to over 4 million after the first season ended.



it can be powerful and useful....depends on which articles you read .

I was also using a precor elliptical machine. Those machines work wonders in all kinds of ways. You can work so many muscle groups its amazing. And boomer it was NOT a study.
