Mile Run Time VS. Different Music Types
Hypothesis:
If I run with rap music on then I will run at a faster pace than if I ran with Country or Rock music playing because Rap music has faster beat in the music.
Procedures:
-
Go on a 1 mile run with no music on.
-
Record time on a sheet of paper.
-
Go on a 1 mile run and time myself with rap music playing. X3
-
Record time on same sheet of paper. X3
-
Go on a 1 mile run and time myself with Country music playing. X3
-

-

Record time on same sheet of paper. X3

Experimental control: My runs with no music
Manipulated variable: Music Type
Responding variable: My pace
Controlled variable: The Distance I ran
I wore the same shoes each time
I wore the same headphones
Conclusion:
Overall my hypothesis was incorrect because I said Rap would have affected my 1 mile time the most but Rock was the music type that affected it the most. Rock had an average of 9 minutes and 31 seconds and Rap had an average of 9 minutes and 35 seconds. As I did this experiment I felt like the beat of the song would change the speed of my running because if a fast beat song would come on I was start to increase my speed the song would change and the next song would not have as fast of a beat so I would decrease my speed. In this Experiment I could have increased the number of people that were tested because that could of help bring the reliablility of the test results up. The problem with this experiement and me being the only one that did is that i am not a runner so when i did this project my times could have been better thoughout because i was gaining stamina. Anyways I thought this experiment went very well.
This project was about finding out what type of music had the greatest affect on my average 1 mile run time. this project showed that Rock music had the most affect on the time because when i ran with Rock music on my time went up about 30 seconds from my experimental control run with no music i got 10:00 minutes and when i ran with Rock music i got a 9:35 run time. I know that there was a few things that could of had an affect on my times to the types of music i tested last because i am not a regular runner so my first runs were slow because i hadnt ran in while and as the project progressed the times got better and better so i have afeeling that that could of had a toll on my times throughout the project.
Country:
When i was running with country music i felt kinda down because it was all sad music.
Rap:
I thought that Rap was a very motivating beat and i felt like i went faster when it was playing.
Rock:
Rock music was a weird thing for me because the beat was fast but im not that big of that style so ididnt think that it would affect me in the way it did.
