Why Certain Music Raises Mental Performance
I always get a kick out of the latest research proving what’s been already known for decades, even centuries. Namely -playing classical music while you exercise makes you stronger.
Why? Because the results in your mental performance are raised to peak performance levels.
Charles Emery of Ohio State University knows that exercise helps people feel more positive about their lives. As a lover of music as well as an exercise enthusiast, he decided to open a new window into his research and see what would happen if he combined those two passions.
He tested his theory on men and women who were in the final stretch of their cardiac rehabilitation program.
All I can say about the results is ‘WOW.’
What music was used? Nothing but high frequency classical music - http://www.artabundance.com/secretpower.htm. Each person listened to Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’ while he or she exercised.
Why did he choose Vivaldi? Because previous research showed that the ‘Four Seasons’ helped people with lung disease perform better mentally. In fact, classical music has such a good track record scientists are turning into psychics by predicting a positive outcome before their studies are completed.
All of the participants performed more than Twice as well on a verbal fluency test after listening to Vivaldi’s music during exercise than they did after exercising Without music.
‘When there was no music, there was no change,’ Emery says.
ABC News reports that the passionate, upbeat music of “The Four Seasons” stimulates your brain because it is complex and contains a natural order the brain recognizes. So your brain is forced into organizing its cells while it is soothed into a relaxed state.
If there is any Secret it is this. Relaxation is the key to any Accomplishment.
This is precisely why positively charged classical music is So powerful. It stimulates, focuses and expands your mind while, at the same time, dissipating and smoothing out stress. Emery’s research focused on recovering cardiac patients, because they often suffer some mental decline and stress as a result of being sick.
However, he says high frequency music works for Everyone.
Whether you exercise or not, and I hope you do, adding classical music is a great idea. The more you listen to it, the more those muscles — including the ones Between your ears — stay in tune and function more efficiently.
