In addition to offering entertainment whilst running on the treadmill， listening to music during a workout can also lessen fatigue， according to new research。
根据一项最新研究，除了能够在跑步机上听音乐娱乐之外，边听音乐边运动能够降低疲劳感。
The study， conducted by Brunel University London and published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology， found that hearing Marvin Gaye‘s rendition of “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” while being active resulted in stimulation in the region of the brain associated with easing fatigue。
这项研究由伦敦布鲁内尔大学发表在《国际心理生理学杂志》上，称锻炼时听Marvin Gaye演唱的歌曲《I Heard It Through The Grapevine》能够刺激脑部降低疲劳感的控制区域。
Participants also reported feeling that their workouts felt shorter and more exciting while listening to the 11-minute song， the only song used in the study。?
被试人员表示，听者这首长度在11分钟、也是在研究中的唯一使用的歌曲，能让人感觉到锻炼时间变短了，还感觉到更兴奋。
Of the findings， study author Dr Marcelo Bigliassi told PsyPost： “Music is a very powerful auditory stimulus and can be used to assuage negative bodily sensations that usually arise during exercise-related situations”。
研究作者Marcelo Bigliassi在接受PsyPost就有关该发现的采访时称：“音乐是非常有利的听觉刺激，能够用来减轻由于锻炼有关场景而产生的身体负面的感觉。”
However， Dr Bigliassi does have practical concerns when it comes to the effects of music on workouts。
不过，Bigliassi对于音乐在锻炼方面的作用还是有实际的担心。
Although science proves music does lessen fatigue， he worries that humans may become too reliant on music as an escape from reality。
尽管科学证实音乐能够降低疲劳感，但是他觉得人们可能对于音乐过于依赖而逃离现实。
“We have learnt so much about the psychophysical， psychological， and psychophysiological effects of music in the past two decades that people are almost developing a peculiar form of stimulus dependence，” he said。
他称；“在过去的二十年音乐在心理物理、心理和心理生理学的发现，使得人们发展出一种特殊的刺激依赖形式。”
“If we continue to promote the unnecessary use of auditory and visual stimulation， the next generation might be no longer able to tolerate fatigue-related symptoms and exercise in the absence of music。”
“如果我们继续推行音频和视频的刺激，那么我们的下一代在没有音乐的情况下，便无法忍受疲劳状态或者是需要锻炼的时候。”
Despite his concerns， Dr Bigliassi said： “Music and audiovisual stimuli can and should be used and promoted， but with due care。”
尽管有自己的顾虑，Bigliassi医生说：“音乐和试听的刺激还是应当被推广，但是还是要适度。”
However， instead of relying solely on music， he also feels that it is important people learn other ways to cope with fatigue associated with exercise。
不过，除了单单依靠音乐，他觉得更重要的事人们应该用其他的方式来处理锻炼产生的疲劳感。
