The music selected for competitive aerobics must be reflected by the athlete through his movements, physical performance, appeal and vitality.

These movements must be suitable for the characteristic content of competitive aerobics (the rules of aerobics competition formulated by the International Gymnastics Federation). The choice of music is very important, because it will determine the style of aerobics. Music style plays a guiding and controlling role in action style, that is to say, athletes must complete the action according to the music style.

If Latin music is adopted, the movements must show Latin style, and the movements chosen by athletes must be related to it. Athletes' movements, performances, costumes and music are all displayed around the musical style. In turn, music forms the main line of the whole set of movements, stringing the fragments of individual movements and performances into a complete artistic image.

Music plays a role in strengthening the expression style of actions. The harmony between music style and action style enhances the artistic appeal of the whole set of exercises, and brings health and beauty to people's body and mind.

Shortcomings in the application of competitive aerobics music:

1. Aerobics music has no distinctive style and characteristics.

There is no music specially made for a certain set of aerobics on the field, and most teams choose ordinary disco music, which makes the same phenomenon appear on the field and lacks new ideas.

2. Music and action don't match.

Some teams' complete sets of movements are not in harmony with the selected music. Music is music, and action is action. They are independent: music does not fully contrast the characteristics of action, and action cannot express the wonderful feelings in music.

The music at the beginning and end of some teams' movements is not obvious; Some teams have not finished the music at the end of the action; And some teams' music suddenly stops as soon as the action is finished. All these have greatly weakened the overall beauty of aerobics.

3. improper music rhythm.

Some teams ignore the athletes' sports ability in pursuit of fast pace, which makes some players' movements small, and the whole set of movements seems to be hectic and can't keep up with the rhythm, thus affecting the completion of the movements; However, some teams chose more distinctive folk songs, but they didn't deal with the music quickly, which made the music beat too slow to match the movements and affected the quality of the whole set of movements.
