The effects of exercise accompanied by groove rhythms on executive function vary between individuals. In participants familiar with both groove rhythms and exercise, exercise enhanced executive function and prefrontal neural activity. Psychological responses predicted these benefits. A sense of auditory–motor synchronization and excitement during exercise with groove rhythms emerged as important factors. These findings may contribute to developing exercise prescriptions that incorporate music.
