Interventions/Control_1

Participants will listen to each selected song for 30 seconds using earphones.
After listening, they will perform chest compressions on a training manikin for 1 minute while recalling the rhythm of the song.
To block external sounds and visual cues, the task will be conducted in an isolated room with participants wearing earplugs.
Each chest compression session will last for 1 minute, followed by a 3 minute rest.
Each participant will perform chest compressions for 1 minute per session, repeated 4 times in total, once for each song.

Results

Results: All participants (n=18) were female with no prior chest compression experience. ANOVA showed no significant differences among music conditions in compression rate, depth, or recoil. Subjectively, "Usagi to Kame" was easiest for maintaining tempo, while "Habit" was the most difficult.
Conclusion: Music aids tempo learning, but genre has no significant effect; ease depends on beat clarity and rhythm alignment.
