Why BPM?

Research on the interplay of music and exercise dates to at least 1911, when it was found that cyclists pedaled faster while a band was playing than when it was silent. Since then psychologists have conducted around a hundred studies on the way music changes people’s performance in a variety of physical activities. Looking at the research as a whole, a few clear conclusions emerge. Two of the most important qualities of workout music are tempo—or speed—and what psychologists call rhythm response. In a 2012 study, participants who cycled in time to music required 7 percent less oxygen to do the same work as cyclists who did not synchronize their movements with background music. Music, it seems, can function as a metronome, helping someone maintain a steady pace, reducing false steps and decreasing energy expenditure.
