Study design (if review, criteria of inclusion for studies)
Non randomized Controlled trial
Participants
Thirty-seven patients with CF
Interventions
patients performed the 6-min walk test (6MWT) under three experimental conditions: listening to no music, relaxation music, and motivational music.
Outcome measures
6-min distance × body weight product (6MWORK) was calculated for each trial. Patients' affective responses during exercise was evaluated with Feeling Scale (FS). The motivational qualities of music were evaluated with the Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2)
Main results
6MWORK was significantly lower while listening to relaxation music compared to 6MWORK without music (p < 0.05). FS and BMRI-2 scores were significantly higher during 6MWT with motivational music than 6MWT with relaxation music (p < 0.05).
Authors' conclusions
Carefully selected motivational music can lead to positive affective response during exercise and increase the enjoyment of patients from exercises in CF.
