- The combination of music with exercise enhances short-term exercise capacity and long-term selfefficacy.
- Music-paced physical activity intervention is more effective but more expensive than the usual care for improving quality-adjusted life years. The intervention is considered cost-effective based on World Health Organization criteria.
- The information-motivation-strategy model and the self-determination theory are practical frameworks for motivating the maintenance of exercise behaviour.
