Summary
This study tests whether listening to music during exercise helps heart rehab patients feel better and enjoy their workouts more. Researchers will have 72 inpatients (ages 50-75) exercise with or without music timed to different phases of activity. The goal is to see if music boosts mood, reduces perceived effort, and increases pleasure from exercise.
