A influência da música na experiência de corredores de rua durante a corrida

Abstract

Introduction: Recently, music has emerged as a promising ergogenic resource, being explored in several sports, including street running. Objective: To investigate the influence of music on the experience of street runners while running. Methodology: This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional bias. The sample included 229 runners, all of whom were linked to running groups. For data collection, the instrument used was a questionnaire containing 12 objective and multiple-choice questions. The questionnaire was administered digitally through a link on the Google Forms platform. Results: A significant portion (59%) of the street runners who participated in the study listen to music while running, due to the benefits it brings during practice, corroborating what the literature provides. The musical genres preferred by the runners were rock (33.25%), electronic (28.8%) and pop rock (23.6%). Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that the majority of street runners, whether men or women, elite or amateur athletes, have the habit of listening to music during running and a significant portion (78%) of runners believe in the influence of music during running, whether to increase motivation, feeling of well-being and/or improve performance.
