The Impact of Fast Cadence Music on Motivation and Movement

Listening to fast-paced music activates premotor circuitry, motivating the body to move. Music with a tempo faster than 140-150 beats per minute creates a heightened state of motivation by shifting the balance between go and no-go circuits in the basal ganglia. It also triggers the release of neurochemicals that increase the likelihood of movement. The takeaway is that faster music predisposes us to be more motivated to move, regardless of familiarity or lyrics. The neuronal resonance created by the faster cadence can shift our state of motivation.
