Music 'boosts exercise endurance'

"A study has confirmed what many gym users already knew - listening to music can boost your capacity for exercise. Dr Costas Karageorghis, from Brunel University, has worked out a formula to find the 'perfect' workout track. He tested 30 volunteers on a variety of specially-selected rock and pop music, and found their endurance rose by an average of 15%. He said this could help people 'prescribed' exercise for obesity or heart problems" - BBC
