During exercise, people enjoy listening to music believing that it relaxes them or helps give them the necessary rhythm to exercise. But is music really useful? Given the different people who listen to different types of music, this study was designed to assess the impact of different types of music on exercise performance. The main goal of this study was to determine the existence of connection between music and the effectiveness of physical exercise. The specific goal was to determine the impact of silence on physical activity, the impact of classical music on physical activity, and the impact of techno music on physical activity. The research was conducted on a sample of 18 respondents. Respondents are people in the age range of 20 to 25. The examined group consists of 9 male and 9 female subjects. The method on which the research is based is running a distance of 3 kilometers, without listening to music, and with listening to classical and techno music. The time period required for candidates to run 3 kilometers was measured. Respondents had 2 days of rest between runs so we could eliminate fatigue as a factor that could affect performance. When running without listening to music, most respondents are in the range of 950 seconds (15 min 48 s) to 1200 seconds (20 min). The remaining ones are found in the upper and lower limits of the measured time. When running with listening to classical music, the largest number of respondents is in the range of 900 seconds (15min) to 1150 seconds (19 min 12s) and a similar result is found when running with techno music, but they had a larger number of respondents who achieved better time, and this time was less than 900 seconds (15min). Techno music has been shown to have a better effect on runners while running a given length. The data obtained suggest that different types of music can act as an effective passive distractor during exercise, resulting in a better time result when running a given length.
