“…To address the issues regarding timing and the number of assessment moments, six applications of the FS and FAS were performed, all after the last set of the RT exercises. The protocol implementation (both regarding training and application) seems to align with Andrade et al 8 suggestions of its contextual feasibility. No issues were detected during data collection nor did incoherent results appear for FS/FAS (no outliers or random scores).…”

“…The second and main session followed the same exercise structure but with three sets for each resistance training exercise. The FS and the FAS were applied after the termination of the warm‐up, immediately after the third set of each exercise, following Andrade et al 8 suggestions, and 5 min after the cool‐down. The RIR scale was used after every set to better adjust the load for the third and final set, with the objective of approaching concentric failure.…”

“…Considering the first objective of this study, the current evidence for affective response assessment, albeit preliminary for RT, suggests the application of the FS and FAS immediately after the end of a set, thus effectively assessing pleasure and activation without a significant contribution of an affective rebound effect 8,32,33 . This procedure seems to address the two previously identified limitations regarding the time for assessment and its feasibility in a real‐life setting.…”

“…Although providing RT activities for the general and clinical populations, these facilities have struggled to keep exercisers enrolled, and behavioral change techniques have been proposed to address that issue 1,6,7 . Moreover, among the most common forms of exercising, RT is one of the least explored when aiming to create conditions for exercise persistence 8,9 . Thus, the current study sought to explore this issue grounded in the affective response to exercise and related theoretical assumptions 1,10 …”

Grounded in hedonic assumptions, evidence suggests that people tend to engage in activities they consider pleasurable and enjoyable, while trying to avoid pain and displeasure. This suggests that the dynamic between positive and negative affect can influence current behavior and the intentions to continue performing. Regarding resistance training (RT), research focusing on how to promote a better affective response is still scarce and much needed. Given existing limitations and theoretical suggestions, a RT program was developed and applied to recreational exercisers in a quasi-experimental design aiming to (1) explore the affective response dynamic through an assessment after the last set of each exercise; and (2) analyze possible differences of preference and tolerance profiles in affective variables (core affect and enjoyment). For that purpose, 43 participants (21 male and 22 female; M age = 34.69 ± 6.71 years; M experience = 8.32 ± 4.54 years; M BMI = 24.26 ± 2.64 kg/m 2 ) accepted to participate in this study. Descriptive statistics, correlational, and group comparisons analyses were performed to provide evidence for proposed objectives. The present study showed that measures of affective valence/arousal applied immediately after a set represents a feasible and ecologically valid approach to tap core affect. Results presented evidence that recreationally trained exercisers in a common RT program would need a minimum of one measurement to assess the affective response. However, additional assessments could refine the understanding of exercise pleasurable experience. Results also suggest that exercisers with distinct profiles of preference/tolerance depicted differentiated patterns for the affective response, possibly justifying a distinct approach when promoting affective regulation.

Several theoretical frameworks have been used to understand exercise adherence. Basic psychological needs (BPN), grounded on self‐determination theory, have received large attention for this purpose. More recently, the hedonic theory and the assumptions related to the exercise characteristics (e.g., intensity) that can bolster positive affective responses have been revitalized. This study aimed to explore the associations between the agreement of current exercise intensity and the one individually preferred, BPN satisfaction/frustration, enjoyment, the intention to continue exercise, and exercise frequency. Additionally, an exploration of the direct and indirect effects while testing sex as a moderator was performed. A sample of 369 exercisers (Mage = 43.6, standard deviation = 12.96; 214 females) enrolled in 26 health clubs participated in this study voluntarily. Data were received in a first‐approach descriptive and correlational analyses. Next, a moderated mediation was performed using model 15 (PROCESS v.4.2). As a result, agreement in preference for exercise intensity was positively associated with enjoyment (r = 0.35), intention (r = 0.43), and all needs satisfaction (ranging from r = 0.12 to r = 0.45) and negatively associated with all needs frustration (ranging from r = −0.15 to r = −0.31). In the moderated mediation analysis, the same pattern of results emerged in direct effects. Indirect effects were significant for autonomy in the enjoyment and frequency models. Findings suggest that promoting an individually adjusted training intensity may foster BPN satisfaction. It appears to be present an independent (of needs) and positive association with exercise enjoyment and intention to continue exercising.
