Abstract Obesity shows an increasing prevalence worldwide and a decrease in energy expenditure has been suggested to be one of the risk factors for developing obesity. An increase in resting energy expenditure would have a great impact on total energy expenditure. This study shows that classical music do not influence resting energy expenditure compared to complete silence. Further studies should be performed including other genres of music and other types of stress-inductors than music. Findings Obesity shows an increasing prevalence worldwide 1 and a decrease in energy expenditure has been suggested to be one of the risk factors for developing obesity 2 . Increasing energy expenditure could be done by increasing physical activity but resting energy expenditure REE is the largest part of an humans energy expenditure 7080 and an increase in REE would have a large impact on total energy expenditure. REE is assessed by indirect calorimetry by measurements of oxygen .
