In South Korea they are struggling with another wave of Corona and instead of closing down the gyms they have stated: It is forbidden to play rhythmic music with over 120 beats per minute, the speed of the treadmills will be limited and that is not all.

These laws caused a great deal of opposition and many questions: "How can one control the music that people hear?"

The vast majority of people who regularly work out in gyms, probably love music that puts them in rhythm and stimulates them during exercise.

But South Korea has decided to significantly reduce this musical option under the new corona restrictions.

In addition to the social distance and various restrictions, the Asian country has also decided to add requirements from gyms and ban them from playing music at over 120 beats per minute (bpm) during group activities like aerobics and spinning.

The state health authorities explained that the purpose of this restriction is to prevent trainees from breathing too fast or migrating sweat near other people to reduce their chances of getting infected, which could lead to business closure as happened in previous Corona waves.

But this law, as you have probably guessed, has caused a great deal of opposition on the part of practitioners and also lawmakers who have called this law "nonsensical", even the owners of the institutes are probably opposed and claim that this law is ineffective and impossible to implement.

Hang Yun - Ko, owner of a gym in North Seoul, referred to this restriction and said: "My biggest question is whether playing classical music or quiet songs have been proven to prevent the spread of the virus?".

He added that "a lot of people use their own means and hear rhythmic music in headphones over the phone, so how can you control what they hear?".

South Korea, which is facing a big corona wave, added further restrictions and even decided to limit the speed of treadmills to only 6 km / h and a ban on using showers in institutes. It also decided that no more than two people would participate in table tennis games and more. Will it help them? It remains to be seen.
