Week Three

Week Three


When it came to listening to music I chose to do a session that lasted around 2 hours with a 15 minute break in-between, the session I did took place in the gym as I was helping and encouraging Nat when it came to her developing her fitness. To help with her performance and motivation I got Natalie to listen to her favorite music which she said was something calm like Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard, etc. Listening to music whilst training or performing would influence her dissociation, arousal regulation, synchronization, acquisition of motor skills and attainment of flow. In turn music was able to calm her down and made her feel more relaxed even though she doesn't enjoy fitness she managed to do it and last long enough with only a 15 minute break. At first I got her working on the treadmill for around 20 minutes and it was a relaxed environment as I let her decide what she wanted to do and how long she wanted to do it for so that she was able to choose herself and this would boost her confidence and encourage her to continue. The specific benefits that will be a result of this are her fitness will increase, there for increasing her performance as she is able to last longer, as this is also individual training it also means that she will then be able to keep up with the other team players.

We did have a meeting so that we were able to discuss Natalie's music taste  and make a 15 song playlist which she could listen to whilst she was training, as well as this we looked at the beats per minutes and looked at how this could increase the intensity of her performance, as most of the songs were quite slow and had a low beat per minute this meant that it wasn't very intense and this calmed and relaxed her, however one of her songs had a faster bpm and I saw this increase the intensity of her performance as she started running fast and lip singing to it.
