Music has a great affect on people as it has been with us for centuries Music and Sports Music has a huge impact when playing sports, music is a way to distract oneself from he physical activity they are enduring and to try to lessen their consciousness of fatigue. However recent studies have seen that music has a much greater effect than just providing a distraction. 2) Through studies made by sport psychologists, they have determined that music has a great impact on the performance of an athlete''s athletic abilities. Dr. Costas krageorghis from the Brunel University has done studies to see the results of music and how it affects the human body. Through listening to synchronous music it has proven out that it can increase an athletes performance up 20%, which is quite a lot. 2) Music provides a distraction; music will often help calm athletes nerves.

Levitin and colleagues published a Meta-Analysis of 400 studies in the Journal Trends in researchers studied patients who were about to undergo surgery. Participants were randomly assigned to either listen to music or take anti-anxiety drugs. Scientists tracked patient''s ratings of their own anxiety, as well as the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. (5) The results showed that the patients who listened to music had ess anxiety and lower cortisol than people who took drugs.
Levitin cautioned that this is only one study, and more research needs to be done to confirm on the results, but it points toward a powerful medicinal use for music. (5) Through the data collected it shows how music cab be arguable to be better and less expensive then the drugs taken when having surgery, while there are no side affects when you listen to music. Levitin and colleagues has evidence that music is associated with the immunoglobulin, a class of proteins present in the serum and cells of which is in the immune system and functions as antibodies.

Since music is nonverbal in nature, it will trigger the right hemisphere. When used in a therapeutic nature, the verbalization of words will trigger the logical left- brain at the same time, which allow the brain to communication between the left and right brain.
