Relationship between exercise heart rate and music tempo preference

This article is a bit more technical than I’d like, but it does a great deal of research into the effect music has on those that are exercising. This has more to do with how the music would effect athletes and not the fans necessarily, but this does mention the crossing over of the two genres of entertainment. This obviously won’t contribute a great deal to my argument, but I could use it for more scientific evidence as to why music and sports are so inextricably intertwined in pop culture.
