Abstract
For many years, researchers have been looking for different ways to improve the sports activity of the elderly. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of motivational music and video stimuli on the cardio-respiratory responses in the elderly.
Methods: The current research was applied and semi-experimental with an within-subject design. The participants of this research were 24 elderly people between 65 and 75 years old. Then the participants started walking on the treadmill at a speed of 3 to 5 km/h for 5 to 8 minutes.. People in three different conditions (motivational music, motivational video and no intervention) through the respiratory gas analysis device (caloric consumption at rest, energy consumption rate on the whole body surface, ratio of ventilation to oxygen intake, ratio of ventilation to carbon dioxide) and scale Borg's perception of pressure was assessed to record each person's perception of their effort and performance.
Results: The results of the analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni's post hoc test showed a significant difference in the variables of calorie consumption to resting state, perceived pressure, energy consumption rate on the whole body surface, ratio of ventilation to oxygen received in the participants in the motivational music condition. , compared to the conditions of the motivational video and the conditions without intervention, but there was no significant difference in the variable of the ratio of ventilation to carbon dioxide.
Conclusion: It seems that walking with motivational music improves cardio-respiratory responses variables in the elderly
