Even in ancient times, philosopher scholars were interested in how music and individual notes affect a person’s state. Their works say: harmonious sounds can relax, heal mental ills and even cure certain diseases.
Once the performances of musicians accompanied sports. And in antiquity and now sport is in high esteem. Will we talk about whether music is necessary for playing sports? If for customization, then definitely, it is necessary, as it helps a person to gather and awakens the desire to win. But for training and performances?
When is music needed in sports?
Let's start with the fact that some sports are simply “musical”. Judge for yourself: without music, skaters or gymnasts performing ribbons are no longer conceivable. This is one thing! Okay, let's say, fitness and aerobics classes are also held to the music - it is still a product of mass consumption, and there simply cannot be done without a sugary “musical wrapper”. Or is there such a sacred thing as singing a hymn before a hockey or football match.
When is music in sports not appropriate?
It is quite another thing - special training - for example, the same light and weightlifting. In any city park you can often observe such a picture: a girl runs in sports uniform, headphones are in her ears, lips moving - she is singing a song.
Lord It is not right! While running, you can’t talk, you can’t also be distracted by the rhythm of the music, you have to completely devote yourself to your body, follow the proper breathing. And it’s not safe - to run in headphones - you need to control the situation around you, and not to slaughter often low-grade tubers with rhythms from the morning, no matter how energetic it may seem. So, guys, strictly so: during the morning run - no headphones!
So music is great! Some argue that it is fully capable of replacing sedatives and tonic preparations. But ... It happens that during training the music is not only not needed, but can even annoy and interfere. When does this happen? Usually, when you need to focus on internal sensations, work out the technique or perform exercises on the bill.
Thus, even specially selected music, taking into account the speed and vigor of the exercises performed, for playing sports for the one who is engaged, risks being just noise. The place of music is in the concert hall.
By the way, works devoted to the topic of sports were also created by composers of classical music. It is interesting that the famous, amazingly beautiful and smooth Gymnopies of Eric Sati - a French composer - were created precisely as music for playing sports: they had to accompany, as it were, “gymnastic plastic ballet”.
