At iTrainer we always knew that working out to music made our workout time more effective, but now heres the science.

LISTENING to a fist-pumping rock song may appear no more than a welcome distraction from aching muscles on a jog round the park or a trip to the gym. But it could also significantly enhance performance.

Three studies on the effects of music on athletic ability, which have been accepted for publication in journals next year, show that James Brown, Steppenwolf or even Vivaldi can make you quicker, stronger and more focused during sport.

Research by Costas Karageorghis, a sports psychologist at Brunel University, suggests that the right music can lift a person’s athletic performance by as much as 20 per cent.
