First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether listening to music with a strong beat can help older adults become more physically active. Fifty-four healthy adults aged 65 and older took part in a 6-month exercise program, with some listening to beat-accented music and others exercising without it. The goal was to see if the music made exercise feel better and encouraged people to stay active.
