音樂應用在運動情境會產生許多的效果，根據健身音樂權威Costas Karageorghis的觀點：「健身時，節奏較快的音樂節拍會讓耐力更持久，超越平常的運動效率！而且健身時搭配適合的歌曲，可以減少運動疲勞感並振奮心情」。本文以文獻回顧方式，發現在不同的運動階段，音樂所產生的效果會有不同。本文之結語為：運動前，聽音樂有助於短時間運動項目的表現；運動中，聽音樂有助於耐力及中低強度項目的表現；運動後，聽音樂則會提升恢復效率。過去有關音樂應用於運動情境的研究多數是在實驗室情境的研究，受限於施測的空間與設備，無法同時記錄多人團體在運動時的身心變化情形，建議未來的研究方向可以考慮設計在健身中心的空間，探討多人團體在不同音樂情境下進行運動的效果，以較貼近健身中心實際的運作方式，提供研究者瞭解運動者在團體運動情境中的身心變化情形。

Music plays an important role in any exercise regimen. The prestigious researcher Costas Karageorghis proposed that ＂When doing exercise, fast-paced music enhances people's endurance and helps them perform better than usual. Exercising with appropriate music can not only relieve the fatigue but also cheer people up.＂ Literature review from our study reveals that music produces different effects during different stages of exercise. Prior to exercise, listening to music leads to better performance in short-term exercise activities. During exercise, it helps increase endurance and exerts influence over low-intermediate intensity activities. After exercise, music improves the recovery rate. Previous studies on the effects of music on exercise were typically conducted in laboratories. Due to related limitations of space and equipment, these failed to keep track of the physical and psychological changes of groups of people at the same time. Future studies can be conducted in the setting of fitness centers, and discuss the influences of various pieces of music on groups of people. This will provide a clearer and more authentic picture of how individuals and small groups react both mentally and physically to exercising in tandem with music.
