Musik och dess påverkan på motivation under ett gympass

Abstract

Music used in exercise has been widely used since 1970. Researchers have pointed out that future research about music influence on motivation should include a comparison between gender in health club environments. This is also the aim of this paper. We have handed out surveys, all together 120, in two different health clubs in Gothenburg, Sweden. A distinction has been done between gender. The purpose is to see in which extension music effects their motivation according to their opinions and ideas using a model, which measures the different components of music used in exercise. Our data has been analysed in SPSS. The results showed that the motivation of women in general is effected more than men´s.
