The authors investigated the effects of respite–active music (i.e., music used for active recovery in between high-intensity exercise bouts) on psychological and psychophysiological outcomes. Participants (N = 24) made four laboratory visits for a habituation, medium- and fast-tempo music conditions, and a no-music control. A high-intensity interval-training protocol comprising 8 × 60-s exercise bouts at 100% W _max with 90-s active recovery was administered. Measures were taken at the end of exercise bouts and recovery periods (rating of perceived exertion [RPE], state attention, and core affect) and then upon cessation of the protocol (enjoyment and remembered pleasure). Heart rate was measured throughout. Medium-tempo music enhanced affective valence during exercise and recovery, while both music conditions increased dissociation (only during recovery), enjoyment, and remembered pleasure relative to control. Medium-tempo music lowered RPE relative to control, but the heart rate results were inconclusive. As predicted, medium-tempo music, in particular, had a meaningful effect on a range of psychological outcomes.

作者调查了喘息的积极音乐（即用于高强度运动之间的积极恢复的音乐）对心理和心理生理学结果的影响。参与者 ( N  = 24) 进行了四次实验室访问，以适应习惯、中速和快节奏音乐条件以及无音乐控制。高强度间歇训练方案，包括 8 × 60 秒的训练，_最大功率 为 100%进行了 90 秒的主动恢复。在锻炼结束和恢复期（感知劳累 [RPE]、状态注意力和核心影响的评级）结束时，然后在协议停止时（享受和记忆的快乐）采取措施。在整个过程中测量心率。中等速度的音乐在锻炼和恢复期间增强了情感效价，而两种音乐条件都增加了分离（仅在恢复期间）、享受和相对于控制的记忆快感。中速音乐相对于对照组降低了 RPE，但心率结果尚无定论。正如预测的那样，中速音乐尤其对一系列心理结果产生了有意义的影响。
