Blasting music while jogging? study tests if it changes your heart and breathing
NCT ID NCT07556666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how listening to loud sounds through headphones changes your heart rate, breathing, and how hard exercise feels. Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 30 will walk on a treadmill twice—once with no sound and once with loud sound—while their body responses are measured. The goal is to understand if high-level sound exposure affects exercise performance and perceived effort.
