Abstract
Background and Objectives: Aerobic exercise is a common way to lose weight. Music also improves athletic performance. The aim of the present study is the effect of aerobic exercise with music on VO2max and body composition of overweight women. Methods: 19 overweight women with average age of (33.98 ± 6.48) years old and a mean height of (163.14±4.88) cm weight (83.30±3.87) kg, BMI (31.25±0.97) were voluntarily selected and divided into three experimental groups with music and without music and control group. The music was played at a rate of 100-90 bits per minute. The training groups were active for 6 weeks, 3 days and 60 minutes each day, with 45-65% maximum heart rate. VO2max was measured by a Harvard stair test. Due to the lack of natural distribution, non-parametric statistics and cross-sectional analysis of Kruskal Wallis were used for analysis. Findings: The results showed that aerobic exercise with music did not have a significant effect on the body composition of overweight women, but it caused a significant increase in their VO2max (p≤0.05) and music probably had the only motivating effect. Conclusion: According to the results, it is recommended to use aerobic exercises to increase the cardio-respiratory readiness of overweight women.
