The analysis was carried out on sixty jogging times of thirty runners as well as their different speeds over one kilometer. Elisten to Drake adde twenty and one seconds per kilometer of the participants’ running time. That equals one minute and forty-five seconds longer over a distance of’regarding five kilometers.
He is not the only artist to reduce the performance of runners. L’study reveals that’listen to BTS (+ 9 seconds), Doja Cat (+ 5 seconds), Nicki Minaj (+2 seconds) or Katy Perry (+1 second) produces the same effect.
Which artists to go fast?
The results of the’study indicate what to listen to Beyoncé, Harry Styles et Britney Spears does not decrease running speed. Adele, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Olivia Rodrigo et Justin Bieber pcan also make you speed up.
But it’s the music of Beyoncé qui has the most’impact on runners. In l’listening they gained an average of thirty-three seconds per mile and took two minutes and forty-five seconds less to cover five kilometers.
