Fitness & Sports
Fitness venues are particularly music-dependent. Karageorghis et al. (2009) demonstrated that music synchronized to exercise cadence reduces perceived exertion by up to 10% and increases performance output. Gyms are also one of the highest-risk categories for collecting society enforcement, with the Berlin fitness studio (€42,000, GEMA) case being the most cited enforcement example in Europe.
