Exercise is a very effective strategy to improve people's health. However, the unwell managed exercise potentially causes distress and decreases the health. Therefore, this research aimed to know the correlation of exercise combined with music to control stress/tissue injury by using physical-physiological neurohormonal paradigm approach. This study used randomized control group pre-test and post-test design with the sample of 30 non-athlete individuals randomly selected with the age range of 19-23 years old, the body mass index (BMI) of 19-23, VO2 Max of 46-56 ml/kg/BB, and they do not smoke. The experiment group was divided into high-intensity exercise by listening to hard beat music, high intensity-exercise by listening to slow beat music, high-intensity exercise without listening to the music. The high intensity, in this research, means the intensity with 85% load of maximum working capacity with the multilevel load test using ergometer. The measurement of distress level was performed by taking the sample of 10 ccs of the blood of cube vein and the measurement of heart rate before and after doing an exercise. The distress level was determined using a biomaterial secretion indicator in the form of cortisol hormone, endorphin, cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the heart work. The method that was used to check the blood sample to know the cortisol, endorphin, and IL-6 content was ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), while the measurement of heart work was carried out using polar heart rate monitor. The research results showed that there was a significant difference in circulating level of endorphin and IL-6 (P < 0.05) after treatment by listening to slow beat music compared to the other experimental groups. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in the circulating levels of cortisol (P > 0.05). In summary, giving co-treatment of high-intensity exercise with slow beat music could decrease the physical-physiological stress of non-athlete individual. It is suggested that the treatment could decrease the inflammatory within the skeletal muscle and improve the decrease in physiological stress by modulating the anti-physiological stress neurohormonal secretion. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
