KOREA PROHIBITED PLAYING Loud Music in the GYM IN order to limit the spread of COVID-19
===============
Currently, South Korea is applying a level 4 distance (banning gatherings of 3 or more people after 6 p.m.) in the capital area (Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi province) and a level 3 distance (banning gatherings of 5 people or more) up) in other localities.
Accordingly, from July 12, gyms when organizing high-intensity exercise exercises (GX stands for Group Exercise) will not play songs that cannot be played. singing has a rhythm faster than 120bpm (a unit of measure in music).
In addition, users of treadmills in the gym are not allowed to exercise at a speed of more than 6 km/h.
Health officials explain that this is a necessary measure to prevent practitioners from breathing too quickly or sweating a lot.
However, this regulation has faced many objections because of the lack of scientific evidence on the link between the rhythm of songs and the risk of COVID-19 infection.
An opposition lawmaker mocked the ruling party's rule: "If you walk or run below 6km/h, you won't get COVID-19. I don't understand how the epidemic has anything to do with the music I listen to? "
Professor Costus Carrages of Brunel University in the UK criticized the rule in the New York Times on July 14, calling it "unrealistic"; There's too much music that's slower than 120 bpm but can still stimulate intense exercise."
