Document Summary

Theories suggest that external stimuli (auditory and visual) may be rendered ineffective in modulating attention when exercise intensity is high. The attentional shift from predominantly dissociative to associative thoughts occurred at approximately. Attentional shift occurred at approximately 78% of maxhr during fat-tempo music. The purpose was to examine the effects of music and parkland video footage on psychological measures during and after stationary cycling at (a) 10% of maximal capacity below vt and 5% above vt. Feeling scale: a single 11-point scale that ranged from +5 to -5.

Paces: physical activity enjoyment scale- 18 items on a 7-point bipolar scale. Attention was a lot higher with music and video. The feeling scale score was highest with music during and after the task. Enjoyment scale score was highest with music and video, but not a significant difference.
