20.8 percent of the athletes who responded said they listen to music while they are getting ready, warming up or on the way home from a competition; many said they listen to rock music or specific songs to get hyped up. According to Costas Karageorghis, author of the book “Applying Music and Exercise in Sport,” music can be a stimulant or a sedative. It can enhance mood, improve muscle control and help the brain build key muscle memories.
