1. How Fast Can You Run Cade Bartos

2. Question Does listening to a different type of music effect the time it takes to run a lap around the St. Albans track?

3. Materials Iphone 5 Headphones Music on spotify ( spotify is an app for music) Runners

4. Procedure 1 The goal of this experiment was to see which type of music made somebody run fastest. First, I chose 3 different types of music: classical, rock, and rap (I also did a test without music). Then I chose the songs for each genre of music. The songs were eye of the tiger, a thousand years, and work hard play hard. None of the music was explicit

5. Procedure 2 I then had 5 people test the different types of music in one lap around the St. Albans at the same music volume. I did each type of music in a different order for each person so that the time isn’t based on tiredness. I then found a trend and determined which music was fastest. I told each subject to run their fastest.

6. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that rap music will have a faster lap around the St. Albans. I think this because rap has a fast tempo with fast words that might make you go at a faster pace.

8. Observations

9. Conclusion After looking at my observations I have concluded that my hypothesis is correct. For 2 people (Nicholas and Harry M.) it was first place For 1 person (Payton) it was tied for first. And for 2 people (Simon and Ben) it was second place.

10. Corrections If I could’ve corrected anything I would make the headphones be brought by the subject so they could’ve made sure that they kept the headphones in the whole lap. I would also make it 2 laps because for some of the runners there wasn’t much of a difference between all of the music.

11. Final analysis I also found that the other genres of music were relatively close to each other in this experiment. Except classical was by far the slowest.
