An interventional study of No Music and Relaxing Classical Music in Metabolism, sponsored by Old Dominion University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-12-20.
Sponsored by Old Dominion University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
The objective of the study is to determine whether music has any effect on resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the amount of energy expended at rest. There is currently conflicting research on how music affects RMR. One problem with RMR testing is that participants often fall asleep during the test. There can be a 5-10% difference in the metabolic rate between rest and sleep. If no change in RMR is observed, playing music during an RMR test could be a potential strategy to prevent participants from falling asleep. Participants will undergo RMR measurements while listening to no music, relaxing classical music, and self-selected classical music.

Exclusion Criteria:
Other: No Music
Other: Relaxing Classical Music
Other: Self-Selected Relaxing Music
Participants lie supine on a table while no music is played.
Participants lie supine on a table while classical music is played.
Participants lie supine on a table while self-selected relaxing music is played.
Daily Resting Metabolic Rate
RMR will be measured via indirect calorimetry (Parvomedics TrueOne system)
Time frame: Participants will be randomized to three consecutive 15-minute trials involving listening to no music, classical music, or self-selected relaxing music. RMR will be measured continuously over each 15 min trial.
Heart rate
Heart rate will be measured with a Polar chest strap monitor
Time frame: Participants will be randomized to three consecutive 15-minute trials involving listening to no music, classical music, or self-selected relaxing music. Heart rate will be measured continuously over each 15 min trial.
Excited/bored scale
Participants rate on a 0-9 Likert scale how bored or excited they are.
Time frame: Participants will be randomized to three consecutive 15-minute trials involving listening to no music, classical music, or self-selected relaxing music. Levels of boredom/excitement will be measured at the end of each 15 min trial.
Sleepiness scale
Participants rate on a 0-9 Likert scale how sleepy they are.
Time frame: Participants will be randomized to three consecutive 15-minute trials involving listening to no music, classical music, or self-selected relaxing music. Levels of sleepiness will be measured at the end of each 15 min trial.
