Exploring music preferences, behaviours and experiences of exercising to music in pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases: a cross-sectional survey
There is potential to use music as a tool to support exercise in PR. However, lack of prior experience exercising to music, diverse music preferences, safety considerations and the need to increase knowledge of the potential benefits of exercising to music are key challenges. These findings may help future PR services to implement music into their programmes and develop personalised music-based interventions to optimise exercise performance.
