Heart rate

Music has a profound effect on heart rate, with its rhythm and tempo influencing the body’s physiological responses. Fast-paced music can increase heart rate, stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, while slower, soothing melodies often reduce heart rate by activating the parasympathetic system. This is why music is used for relaxation and stress reduction. The emotional impact of music, whether uplifting or calming, can also play a key role in modulating heart rate and overall emotional state.
