Abstract

Synchronizing movement with external stimuli is important in musicians and athletes. This study investigated the effects of sound characteristics, including sound with harmonics (square wave) and without harmonics (sine wave) and levels of expertise in sports and music on rhythmic ability. Thirty-two university students participated in the study. The participants were divided into sixteen music education (ME) and sixteen physical education (PE) majors. They were asked to perform finger tapping tasks with 1,2 and 3 Hz beat rates, tapping in time with the sine and square wave beat produced by a metronome. The relative phase angle of finger tapping and the onset time of metronome sound were calculated using circular statistics. The results showed that type of wave and music experience affected the rhythmic ability of participants. Our study highlights the importance of types of waves on rhythmic ability, especially for participants with no background in music. The square wave is recommended for athletes to learn to synchronize their movement with beats.

声波和音乐体验对动作配合节拍的影响

对音乐家和运动员来说，将运动与外界刺激同步是很重要的。这项研究调查了声音特征的影响，包括有谐波的声音(方波)和没有谐波的声音(正弦波)，以及体育和音乐专业水平对节奏能力的影响。32名大学生参与了这项研究。参与者被分为16个音乐教育(ME)和16个体育教育(PE)专业。他们被要求以1、2和3赫兹的节拍率进行手指敲击任务，与节拍器产生的正弦波和方波节拍同步敲击。用圆形统计法计算了手指敲击的相对相位角和节拍器声音的起始时间。结果表明，波浪类型和音乐体验对参与者的节奏能力有影响。我们的研究强调了波的类型对节奏能力的重要性，特别是对于没有音乐背景的参与者。建议运动员使用方波来学习与节拍同步的动作。

期刊介绍： Human Movement Science provides a medium for publishing disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies on human movement. It brings together psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological research on the control, organization and learning of human movement, including the perceptual support of movement. The overarching goal of the journal is to publish articles that help advance theoretical understanding of the control and organization of human movement, as well as changes therein as a function of development, learning and rehabilitation. The nature of the research reported may vary from fundamental theoretical or empirical studies to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation with the proviso that all studies have a distinct theoretical bearing. Also, reviews and meta-studies advancing the understanding of human movement are welcome. These aims and scope imply that purely descriptive studies are not acceptable, while methodological articles are only acceptable if the methodology in question opens up new vistas in understanding the control and organization of human movement. The same holds for articles on exercise physiology, which in general are not supported, unless they speak to the control and organization of human movement. In general, it is required that the theoretical message of articles published in Human Movement Science is, to a certain extent, innovative and not dismissible as just "more of the same."
