Statistics show that 61% of runners wear headphones to listen to something while running, and 82% of them are listening to their favorite music. Beginning with the age of the Walkman, the debate about whether headphones should be worn while running begins. It is difficult to make a conclusion on this issue, but the runners can refer to the opinions of the pros and cons.

For the opinion one: Let the runners cheer up

Sports psychologist Costas Karagiogis specializes in the positive impact of music on athletes. He believes that music can help runners achieve the best mental state to cope with running training. “Music can raise positive emotions, like excitement and happiness, and reduce negative emotions like tension, fatigue and confusion,” Karaji Aguis said.

Another study supported Karagi Ogis's point of view and found that listening to music before training or 5K helps to ignite the runner's passion and prepare for the upcoming run.

For the second opinion: maintain a consistent speed

Many runners are reluctant to listen to music while they are running because they can concentrate on some details, such as their breathing and stride, without the interference of music, helping to control speed. In fact, if you use music correctly, you can better control the speed. The study found that when the rhythm of the music matches its own speed, the runner's performance will be better. Experts suggest that you can listen to more than 120 beats of fast-paced music for high-intensity training, and listen to less than 120 beats for long-distance running.

Pro Opinion 3: Make running feel easier

A study by the University of Keele in the United Kingdom found that listening to your favorite concerts while running reduced the feeling of fatigue and made runners feel that running was easier. The stimulation of the music to the runner actually prevents the side effects of internal stimuli such as fatigue. When the runner feels less tired of running, the runner thinks that he can run farther and faster.

Objection 1: Isolation from the surrounding environment

In the opinion against running runners wearing headphones, the most important one is the security issue. Opponents believe that running with headphones will make the runners unable to understand the surrounding environment, can not hear the surrounding sounds, and pay attention to the surrounding traffic, which is prone to traffic accidents.

Objection 2: May lose the speed of the game

When the runner is used to wearing headphones in daily training, he will have a sense of dependence on music. However, in the event of a game, if there is no music, the runner will feel uncomfortable, which will disrupt his rhythm and lose control of the game. In addition, some games are forbidden to carry portable electronic devices, which is undoubtedly a blow to runners who are used to listening to music.

Opposition 3: weaken the running experience

Running itself will impose a certain burden on the runner's body and mind. If you listen to music, it will undoubtedly increase the burden. Moreover, the current running environment has been interfered by the outside world too much. It is very difficult to feel the running experience calmly, so there is no need to let the music distract the runners.
