Summary
This study looks at how listening to a metronome, binaural beats, or silence affects walking distance and recovery in healthy adults aged 18-35. Forty participants will complete a 6-minute walk test under each sound condition on separate days. The goal is to see if certain sounds improve walking performance or help the body recover faster after exercise.
