Abstract in brief

The study found that faster music tempos helped participants cycle farther, increased their power output and pedaling speed, and made them feel like they were exerting more effort, while slower tempos had the opposite effect.
Participants naturally worked harder and enjoyed the music more when it was played at a faster tempo, indicating that music speed can influence exercise performance and motivation.
These findings suggest that using faster music during workouts could enhance training efficiency and enjoyment, potentially leading to better exercise adherence and performance.]
