Comparison Research
A 2003 paper by Atkinson, Wilson, and Eubank: This looked at how sixteen physically active subjects responded when listening to fast-paced electronic dance music compared to listening to no music as a control trial. With this experiment The outcome showed that when listening to the fast-paced music, the subjects went significantly faster than they did without music.
Our Experiment: We came to the same conclusion that these people came to. When listening to faster paced music subjects increase there speed significantly.
Dr Costas Karageorghis From Brunel University Study: Dr. Costas Karageorghis came to the conclusion that listening to music while running boosts your performance rate by 15%.
Our Experiment: While doing this experiment we came to the conclusion that listening to slow paced music increases your speed by 6% and listening to fast paced music increases your speed by 13%.
Brazilian Researchers: These researchers had people run a 5k with no music and with fast paced music and studied how long it took them to run the 5k, what they saw was that on average the runners covered the 5k with no music in just under 27 minutes and 20 seconds, while with fast paced the covered it in just over 26 minutes. Even though these times do not appear to be significantly different they do show that with faster paced music the runners ran a faster time
Our Experiment: In our experiment we also saw speed increase with faster paced music.
Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University: These researchers conducted a study where they had people exercise to the same song at 3 different speeds to see if there speed would change due to the change in music pace, these researchers concluded that we increase our work effort and pace to match the speed of our music.
Our Experiment: We also noticed in our subjects that they increased there speed to match the type of music that they were hearing.
Other Experiments: Many other experiments have been documented but with no university or credentials given of the people or person who conducted these experiments we deemed them possibly unreliable but needless to say almost all of these yielded similar conclusions like the ones we have found along with the ones other researchers have found.

Overall the research we have conducted had very similar results to those of the research done by professors, universities, researchers, students and other sources. Research on this topic is still constantly being updated as new technology and new findings become apparent. Due to the fact that almost all of the research done on this topic comes to the same conclusion we came to we concluded that our research is accurate and reliable. All of the research that we have seen so far including ours all points to one similar conclusion, music does effect peoples speed and many other things while running.
