Enter any gym or sports facility and you’ll see athletes during some, if not all of their sessions listening to their iPod/ MP3 players. Many athletes feel that specific music helps to create a beneficial environment to get into the training groove. A recent study by Cal State University (Fullerton) shows that they may be right.
The study found improved performance in explosive exercise when listening to self-selected music. Intensity is a key component in increasing muscle mass, strength and power. Utilising the right kind of music might be an easy method of achieving this aim.
To help you on the road to all around general awesomeness load up your iPod with this Badassery (www.deepseagreen.co.uk) and smash up those sessions.
