Physiological and Perceptual Effects of Music on Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Summary

The objective of the study is to determine whether music has any effect on resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the amount of energy expended at rest. There is currently conflicting research on how music affects RMR. One problem with RMR testing is that participants often fall asleep during the test. There can be a 5-10% difference in the metabolic rate between rest and sleep. If no change in RMR is observed, playing music during an RMR test could be a potential strategy to prevent participants from falling asleep. Participants will undergo RMR measurements while listening to no music, relaxing classical music, and self-selected classical music.
