The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during resistance training. Specifically, 20 male, moderately weight-trained participants performed three sets of triceps dips until muscle failure. Each was tested under two separate conditions of no music and with music. In each session, participants were asked to rate their perceived exertion using Borg's RPE scale (Borg, 1998) after each set. In addition to RPE, the number of repetitions of each set and heart rate data were collected. Results showed: Total RPE (sum of RPE for each set) was 43 + 8.95 for no music, with no significant difference with music (p = .476). Total repetitions (sum of repetitions for each set) was 124.7 + 45.03 for no music, with no significant difference with music (p = .931). Heart rate (HR) recovery time (5 minute post HR - resting HR) was 12.2 + 10.3 for no music, with no significant difference with music (p = .832). The results revealed that music had no effect on RPE, repetitions or heart rate recovery time.
