Today`s article is about the influence of music on the body.
※original article in Japanese (日本語の記事)

○Effect for relaxing and concentrating

Do you listen to music while studying yourself? Or do you like silence while you are studying? Either ways, It seems that humans feel stress naturally when there is no sound. Talking about sports, they often plays music while practicing, because it is said that players can relax and increase their concentration ability. The effect may change depending on the choice of the song

○Case where the sound of music is counterproductive

What I thought was interesting is the influence of music when doing weight training. I said that listening to music during practice will increase concentration, but there is a theory saying that the component called “※Testosterone” are not generated when you listen to your favorite music during weight training, and it is also said that muscle strength will be counterproductive.
※”Testosterone” is one of the steroid hormones secreted in the human body and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body

○Effects differ depending on gender

Also, this effect is different for men and women. Men are less likely to produce testosterone when listening to your favorite music, but women are likely to produce testosterone in the opposite way. I was honestly surprised that men and women had the opposite effect and influence. When something goes wrong and something stagnates, try changing the way of thinking and using “the power of music” might be a good breakthrough.
