“…Post-exercise enjoyment in the current study was similar to that reported in previous HIIT studies (Hoekstra, Bishop, & Leicht, 2017). However, post-exercise enjoyment of HIIT is variable, with the nature of the HIIT protocol and inter-individual factors likely primary moderators (Bradley et al, 2019;Stork et al, 2017). A benefit of SR-HIIT is that it allows participants to select protocol characteristics that they deem enjoyable.…”

“…Reduced volume HIIT protocols that utilise less training time and/or fewer work bouts than 'standard' HIIT have to some extent addressed the challenging nature of HIIT (Allison et al, 2017;Ruffino et al, 2017). However, lack of consensus on the perceptual responses to reduced volume HIIT (Niven et al, 2018;Stork et al, 2017) and the likely presence of inter-individual factors that influence these responses (Bradley, Niven, & Phillips, 2019) emphasises the need to continue identifying ways to make HIIT a feasible exercise option for as many people as possible.…”

This study investigated the effect of low-volume self-regulated high-intensity interval training (SR-HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), exercise enjoyment, and intentions to repeat. Ten untrained, physically active adults (five males and five females, age: 20.3 ± 0.5 years) undertook a 2-week control period followed by 2weeks SR-HIIT (6 x 10 min cycle ergometer sessions). Sessions involved alternate bouts at a rating of perceived exertion of 17 (work) and 11 (recovery), with bout durations self-regulated by the participant. Maximal aerobic capacity showed a small increase from post-control (3.14 ± 1.03 L.min -1 ) to post-training (3.45 ± 1.14 L.min -1 ; ̅ diff 0.31, 95%CI 0.06 L.min -1 , d = 0.28, 95%CL 0.11, 0.45). First ventilatory threshold showed a large increase from post-control (65.6 ± 2.1% VȮ2max) to post-training (68.0 ± 2.4% VȮ2max; ̅ diff 2.4, 95%CI 1.2%, d = 0.96, 95%CL 0.27, 1.62). Post-exercise enjoyment showed small ( ̅ diff 3.5, 95%CI 8.1 AU, d = 0.31) and medium ( ̅ diff 6.9, 95%CI 6.7 AU, d = 0.68) increases from SR-HIIT session 1-3 and 3-6, respectively. There were trivial to medium increases in intention to repeat SR-HIIT once per week (d = 0.06 to 0.63) and three times per week (d = 0.28 to 0.60). Low-volume SR-HIIT elicits meaningful improvements in CRF, is enjoyable, and facilitates good intentions to repeat, and may be an additional option for implementing HIIT to improve general population health and fitness.

“…However, based on existing data with contradictory results in the literature [14,33,38], there is still no solid evidence to draw conclusions. Individual differences in physical (e.g., physical activity level [39]), psychological status (e.g., exercise preference and tolerance of intensity) [40,41], and macronutrient intake (e.g., low-carbohydrate diets) [42] also account for the discrepancy. From the aspect of the neural system, the interplay of prefrontal cortex and amygdala have been revealed to regulate affective responses during exercise [43][44][45].…”

Benefits of performing sprint interval training (SIT) under hypoxic conditions on improving cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition have been well-documented, yet data is still lacking regarding affective responses to SIT under hypoxia. This study aimed to compare affective responses to SIT exercise under different oxygen conditions. Nineteen active males participated in three sessions of acute SIT exercise (20 repetitions of 6 s of all-out cycling bouts interspersed with 15 s of passive recovery) under conditions of normobaric normoxia (SL: PIO2 150 mmHg, FIO2 0.209), moderate hypoxia (MH: PIO2 117 mmHg, FIO2 0.154, simulating an altitude corresponding to 2500 m), and severe hypoxia (SH: PIO2 87 mmHg, FIO2 0.112, simulating an altitude of 5000 m) in a randomized order. Perceived exertions (RPE), affect, activation, and enjoyment responses were recorded before and immediately after each SIT session. There were no significant differences across the three conditions in RPE or the measurements of affective responses, despite a statistically lower SpO2 (%) in severe hypoxia. Participants maintained a positive affect valence and reported increased activation in all the three SIT conditions. Additionally, participants experienced a medium level of enjoyment after exercise as indicated by the exercise enjoyment scale (EES) and physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES). These results indicated that performing short duration SIT exercise under severe hypoxia could be perceived as pleasurable and enjoyable as performing it under normoxia in active male population.

“…This finding aligns with some existing work comparing HIIE with continuous exercise 15 39 . 337 However, affective responses to and enjoyment of interval exercise is variable between 338 individuals and influenced by protocol 9 and personal characteristics 12 . These factors can make it challenging to isolate moderators of enjoyment in insufficiently active adults.…”

“…However, this hypothesis needs to 346 be tested with a longer intervention. In addition, the influence of personal characteristics on 347 perceptions of interval exercise 12 suggests that these perceptions may differ between samples, even if those samples are homogenous in terms of health and physical activity status. Therefore, it should not be assumed that all healthy, insufficiently active individuals would exhibit the same enjoyment responses to IW and CW that we report.…”

We compared cardiometabolic demand and post-exercise enjoyment between continuous walking (CW) and time-and intensity-matched interval walking (IW) in insufficiently active adults. Sixteen individuals (13 females and three males, age 25.3 ± 11.1 years) completed one CW and one IW session lasting 30 min in a randomised counterbalanced design. For CW, participants walked at a mean intensity of 65-70% predicted maximum heart rate (HR max ) . For 36 IW, participants alternated between 3 min at 80% HR max and 2 min at 50% HR max . Expired gas 37 was measured throughout each protocol. Participants rated post-exercise enjoyment 38 following each protocol. Mean HR and V� O 2 showed small positive differences in IW vs. CW (2, 95%CL 0, 4 beat.min -1 ; d = 0.23, 95%CL 0.06, 0.41 and 1.4, 95%CL 1.2 ml.kg -1 .min -1 , d = 0.36, 95%CL 0.05, 0.65, respectively). There was a medium positive difference in overall kcal expenditure in IW vs. CW (25, 95%CL 7 kcal, d = 0.58, 95%CL 0.33, 0.82). Post-exercise enjoyment was moderately greater following IW vs. CW (9.1, 95%CL 1.4, 16.8 AU, d = 0.62, 95%CL 0.06, 0.90), with 75% of participants reporting IW as more enjoyable. Interval walking elicits meaningfully greater energy expenditure and is more enjoyable than CW in insufficiently active, healthy adults.
