디지털 음악 및 아날로그 음악이 악력에 미치는 영향 평가 = Effect of Two Kinds of Sounds (Digital and Analog) on the Grip Force

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study evaluated the effect of the music type (analog and digital) on the grip strength. Five male and five female healthy college students participated in the experiment. The independent variables were music type (analog, digital, no music) and listening time (5 min., 10 min., and 15 min.). The classic LP disc was used as the analog music and the LP was converted to mp3 to make the digital music source. Grip forces were measured every 5 minutes until 15 minutes using Jamar strain guqge. Mean forces and peak forces were used as dependent variables. The analysis of variance showed that there was no difference between analog and digital music (p>0.05). Only, the gender effect was statistically significant (p<0.05). These results should be verified using different types of music (not only classical music) or preferred music, during different listening time duration (>15 minutes).
