title: Influence of music on the minute oxygen consumption and basal metabolic rate.
abstract: The authors studied the effect of soothing and exciting music on the respiratory function in man, and particularly on minute oxygen consumption and basal metabolic rate. The investigations were carried out on 30 patients and the obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis. Soothing music decreased minute ventilation, minute oxygen consumption and basal metabolic rate, while exciting music slightly increased these parameters.
