“…Yet, the second part of the model-pertaining to the intensity of exercise(s)-may be questionable. A number of past investigations have revealed that exercise characteristics have little role in mediating the psychological benefits (Rendi et al, 2008;Szabo, 2003a;Szabo & Á brahám, 2012). Research has also demonstrated that an equal-toexercise duration, low-or no-effort activity, like mindful exercises, music, or humor trigger identical, or greater, changes in affect than exercise (Netz & Lidor, 2003;Szabo, 1988Szabo, , 2003bSzabo, , 2005.…”

Background: Numerous physical exercises trigger positive changes in affect after relatively short workouts. Spinning, also known as indoor-cycling, is a very popular form of exercise, especially among women, but its impact on affect have not been examined to date. Aims: The purpose of the current work was to investigate the possible benefits of spinning on affect in self-controlled and in instructor-led exercise sessions. Methods: Using baseline measures and pre-to post-exercise design with a psychometrically validated questionnaire, the net effects of spinning (without music) on positive-and negativeaffect were measured in two exercise conditions: (1) self-controlled workout (i.e. without an instructor) and (2) instructor-led workout. After both conditions, 18 women rated the extent which they enjoyed the exercise session on a 10-point Likert scale. Results: The findings revealed that positive affect increased while negative affect decreased after both workouts. Exerted effort, measured through the heart rate, did not differ between the two conditions. However, participants enjoyed more the instructor-led exercise session than the self-regulated workout (effect size, Cohen's d ¼ 0.93). Conclusions: This research reveals that spinning improves post-exercise affect, even without music and regardless of instructor's presence. Therefore, it demonstrates the net benefits of this popular exercise on affect.

Purpose:to test experimentally influence of aerobic trainings (cross country training and basic aerobic) on students' special endurance in sport oriented groups (sport circles, ping pong). Material:106 first year students (n=53 -control group and n=53 -experimental) participated in experiment. For determination of temporal series' trends R-S analysis was used. Prognostication of mistakes' quantity per one set was fulfilled with the help of exponential smoothing method. Results:it was shown that exponential smoothing method permits to prognosticate by one set ahead with rather high accuracy. As initial predictor we found mean quantity of mistakes in all sets. It permits to average all internal and external factors, which influence on the next predicting indicators. Such approach increases confidence of mistakes' calculation in prognostication. Criteria of prognostication methodic for possible indicators' values were also determined. Conclusions:the recommended time distribution in program is as follows: ping pong − 75%; cross country training and basic aerobic -25%.

“…This reduction may partly explain the moodelevating effects of physical activity. A factor influencing the degree to which aerobic exercise is beneficial appears to be the intensity: low-to moderate-intensity exercise has been shown to be effective in reducing both anxiety and depression, [20] whereas high-intensity exercise has been found in some instances to induce the opposite effect and increase levels of anxiety. [21] Furthermore, moderate-intensity exercise may produce more sustained psychological benefits, probably because it is easier to maintain over longer periods of time.…”

REVIEWBreast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and statistics reveal that the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer in South Africa is increasing. As such, medical practitioners will treat an increasing number of breast cancer patients. Although increasingly effective treatments improve patient survival intervals, a significant number of patients experience psychological distress, at the time of diagnosis and sometimes well beyond the start of treatment. This can be attributed to the disease itself and to treatment side-effects. Historically, patients experiencing such distress have been treated with pharmacotherapy or have been referred for psychotherapeutic intervention. Although it is well known that physical exercise is beneficial to physical health, only recently, and comparatively, has the effect of exercise been recognised as beneficial to psychological well-being. Cancer patients are often advised to reduce physical activity to avoid cancer-related fatigue. Paradoxically, recent research shows that physical exercise, of the type and intensity appropriate for the ability of each patient, can in fact play a significant role in improving mood and aiding physical recovery. This opens up a valuable additional resource to augment patients' quality of life, both physically and psychologically. One precaution stands vitally important, however: the prescribed exercise regimen must be tailored to the physical capabilities of the patient.S Afr J SM 2013;25(2):55-59.
