Title	Effect of motivational music on physical activity levels of second grade physical education students
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Music can be used as a motivational tool to increase levels of physical activity. The study was designed to determine the differences in physical activity levels of physical education students when participating in lessons with and without motivational music. The goal was to determine if motivational music increases students’ activity levels. Participants in this study were male and female second grade students. During the warm-up participants ran around the track for 3 minutes. Participants then played the game “Clean up the Messy Backyard.” This was a continuous game where students are constantly picking up balls and throwing them over the fence onto the other team’s backyard. The goal was for each team to keep their backyard clean by removing as many balls as possible. This lesson format was the same for the two groups of students participating in this study. The only difference was that one group of students had music playing during the warm-up and activity while the other group did not have any music playing. Activity levels were measured using three instruments: pedometers, questionnaires, and a video analysis. Pedometers were used to determine the number of steps taken by students which indicates their level of activity. The questionnaires were designed to assess how students’ bodies feel before, during, and after physical activity. These responses represented individual, modified rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scores. The researcher videotaped, reviewed, and analyzed each lesson focusing on student enjoyment and behavior during the warm-up and activity. Four statistical analyses were run to examine differences among those classes taught with music and those taught without music with respect to pedometer scores and a modified rate of perceived exertion (RPE). A significant difference was found in the pedometer scores of students taught with music when compared to those taught without music. No significant differences were found when examining the modified RPE scores during warm-up and game activity among the music and no music groups. The findings of the current study further validate the results that motivational music can have an effect and increase the physical activity levels of students. Physical education teachers can use this research to incorporate motivational music into their teaching and curriculum. Motivational music can be one tool used to encourage students to be more active. In conclusion, male and female second grade students can be motivated by music to increase their physical activity levels. Future research is needed to explore what motivates young children to be physically active and increase their activity levels.
