This study goal was to investigate the effects of campursari treatment during sports activity on serum levels of cortisol and testosterone in an animal model by using Random Control Group Posttest-Only Design. The samples were categorized into three model, including moderate intensity exercise of running on a treadmill at a speed of 15-16 m/min while listening to campursari allegro, high-intensity exercise of running on a treadmill at a speed of 22 - 25 m/min while listening to campursari allegro, and a controlling group that only listened to music. The data collection was conducted by checking the cortisol and testosterone hormones by using the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method. Importantly, there were not any significant differences in the circulating level of cortisol hormone secretion in moderate and sports while listening to campursari (p>0.05) This data shows that music affects the balance of cortisol and testosterone secretions so that music is indicated to be able to prevent stress and increase the relaxing effect during sports. Thus, the co-treatment of music and physical exercise may attenuate the physio-psychological stress during the higher rate of physical activity in particular skeletal muscle metabolism. © 2019 Author(s).
