简要总结
The objective of the study is to determine the impacts of a 2-week relaxing music intervention on stress, anxiety, and gut symptoms in individuals who regularly perform structured aerobic exercise. Gut symptoms like bloating, reflux, cramping, nausea, etc. are relatively common during prolonged aerobic exercise. In addition, previous research has established that levels of anxiety and stress are associated with a higher occurrence of these gut symptoms. Relaxing music has reduced anxiety in certain populations, but currently, no studies are available on its effects on anxiety, stress, and gut symptoms in people who regularly do aerobic exercise.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in anxiety levels
时间窗: The intervention will last 2 weeks. The General Anxiety Disorder-7 will be assessed before the intervention begins and again after 2 weeks.
Levels of anxiety will be assessed with the General Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire. Scores on the General Anxiety Disorder-7 range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety.
Change in gastrointestinal symptom severity
时间窗: The intervention will last 2 weeks. Gastrointestinal symptoms will be collected for a 1-week period before the intervention and during the 2nd week of the intervention
The severity of several gastrointestinal symptoms will be assessed on a validated 0-10 scale.
次要结局
- Change in visceral sensitivity(The intervention will last 2 weeks. The Visceral Sensitivity Index will be assessed before the intervention begins and again after 2 weeks.)
- Change in perceived stress(The intervention will last 2 weeks. The Perceived Stress Scale 14 will be assessed before the intervention begins and again after 2 weeks.)
