Different types of music can cause a fluctuation of heart rate and intensity during exercise due to the variance in rhythm. This project evaluates heart rate and other physiological responses during exercise while being exposed to two genres of music and a control variable of no music. The two genres of music used for the study include rap and classical for a duration of fifteen minutes on a cycling machine set at the lowest resistance possible. The two genres of music chosen was rap and classical due to their distinctive differences in slow and fast pace in rhythm. [Methodology] The …

The goal of this research was to see if there was any correlation between the time of day and a person's flexibility. The students hypothesized that a person would be more flexible toward the end of the day than at the beginning of the day. Subjects had to do a sit and reach test and one part of the Berg Balance test, the reaching forward with outstretched arms test. The subjects performed these tests three times a day on four different occasions. The measurements show a general increase in flexibility throughout the day with the highest flexibility being in the …

Four active collegiate level students were asked to participate in a 3 day study, conducted in a strict environment. These students were required to perform the same exact exercise each day at the same time upon waking on an empty stomach following a fasted sleep. All individuals performed the exercise at 7:00 AM. On day one, the participant was to perform the exercise with no caffeine consumption. The following day, the participant was to drink one cup of coffee and perform the required exercise. On the last day of the experiment, each participant drank two cups of coffee before the …
