My ideal music for sports

Music

Select the right playlist for each sport activity

It's a fact known for a long time, when listening to music, the rhythm of the piece acts on the heartbeat. The slow tempos, soothing and inviting to calm down, are perfect for sports that require concentration and endurance, because it is not necessary that the heart should be beating too fast. On the contrary, if you practice a discipline that requires significant effort over a short period of time, you have to rely on a fast tempo that makes you want to move around. This speeds up the heartbeat, allowing the muscles to oxygenate quickly.

Another advantage, listening to a playlist that corresponds to the activity practiced also helps to motivate yourself, as a coach would. When listening to music, it is easier to make efforts and time goes by faster.

How to find good music

When playing sports, while listening to music, it is therefore important to choose the right playlist according to the exercise or discipline practiced. Proper music will be of great help, but an inappropriate playlist may make the exercises more difficult. It's like shoes, every sport has its style!
To find the playlist that will ideally accompany your sporting activity, the easiest way is to turn to an online music site .

All these sites offer lists of music dedicated to various sports activities. Feel free to try playlists created by users, they are often very relevant.
