“…Future work may also attempt to examine other methods for affect accentuation, such as self-selected videos [62], videos based on telic-dominance [41,61], pictures, music, cognitive tasks, dyadic interaction, and primary reinforcement [37]. There is a need to explore the utility of priming across variable exercise intensities scaled to ventilatory threshold [6], exercise durations below or above 35 minutes [10], and exercise types, such as with resistance exercise [9]. Additionally, multi-componential assessment of the cognitive, experiential, physiological, and behavioral elements of emotion could yield further insights [37].…”

“…Physical activity at low to moderate intensities has been shown to have a positive influence on affect and mood states [8][9][10][11]. Mechanisms potentially underlying this effect, such as neural pathways, biological changes in neurochemicals, and the psychological distraction hypothesis, have been described elsewhere [12][13][14][15][16].…”

The purpose of this study was to experimentally investigate the relationship between positive affect elicitation (using a short video clip) prior to exercise and affect during acute aerobic exercise. A counterbalanced, within-subject experimental design was used. We conducted three related experiments. In Experiment 1, 30 adults aged 18-40 years participated in a positive affect-elicitation condition ("affective priming") and a control condition. Participation involved watching a five-minute video clip, as well as walking on a treadmill at a (self-selected) brisk pace for ten minutes. We compared affective ratings at baseline and intra-exercise for both conditions using a 2 (condition; priming versus no priming) × 2 (time; pre-versus mid-exercise) repeated measures ANOVA. In the follow-up experiments, we re-examined the relationship between affective priming and intra-exercise affect, addressing some limitations noted with Experiment 1. In Experiment 2, we compared the affect-elicitation properties of self-selected and imposed video clips. In Experiment 3, we re-investigated the potential affective benefits of priming, while including a neutral (neither positive nor negative) video during the control condition to attenuate potential demand characteristics, and a positive video-only condition to investigate possible carryover effects. Self-selected and imposed film clips showed similar affect-elicitation properties. Comparing the priming and control conditions, there were notable differences in the mean intra-exercise affective valence ratings (p = 0.07 Experiment 1, p = 0.01 Experiment 3). The mean affective activation ratings were not significantly different (p = 0.07 Experiment 1, p = 0.86 Experiment 3). Priming the affective state prior to exercise may be beneficial for enhancing intra-exercise affect.

“…55% 1-RM, 65% 1-RM, 75% 1-RM). Thus, unlike previous research (Focht et al, 2015;Greene & Petruzello, 2015), which has investigated the effect of intensity on affect without equating for volume (Cavarretta et al, 2018), the total training volume (number of repetitions and number of sets) was identical in both RT sessions.…”

“…These differences can be accounted for, in part, by cognitive strategies and individual differences in preference for and tolerance of the somatic sensations associated with vigorous exercise (Ekkekakis, Parfitt, & Petruzzello, 2011). The DMM has been effective in predicting affective responses during aerobic exercise, but there is less evidence on how (or indeed if) this theory may apply to RT (Cavarretta, Hall, & Bixby, 2018). Nonetheless, research evidence to date suggests that a similar dose-response relationship exists between intensity and affect for RT.…”

This study was designed to test the effect of an increasing (UP) or decreasing (DOWN) intensity resistance training (RT) protocol on pleasure and enjoyment of RT. Participants (N = 40; mean age = 35.0 ± 9.2 years) completed two RT sessions comprising 3 x 10 reps of six exercises. In the UP condition, load progressively increased from 55% to 75% of 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) while in the decreasing-intensity DOWN condition, this pattern was reversed (i.e., 75% to 55% 1-RM). The DOWN condition resulted in more overall pleasure compared to UP, and a slope of increasing pleasure while the UP condition resulted in decreasing pleasure. Enjoyment of RT, postexercise pleasure, and remembered pleasure were all significantly greater for DOWN compared to UP (all p > .01). These findings suggest that decreasing RT intensity throughout an exercise bout can elicit a positive slope of pleasure and enhance affective evaluations of exercise.

“…Acute bouts of aerobic exercise have consistently shown affect and mood to become more positive [19,20,21]. Similarly, acute bouts of resistance exercise have been found to lead to more positive affect [22,23]; however, the results are less consistent compared to aerobic exercise [24].…”

To determine changes in appetite, affect and cortisol in response to an acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) the morning after consuming whey (WP) and casein (CP) protein and a non-caloric placebo (PLA) consumed pre-sleep, 14 active men (n = 5) and women (n = 9) consumed a single dose of 24 g WP, 48 g WP, 24 g CP, 48 g CP, or PLA 30 min pre-sleep. Prior to and immediately after RE, appetite, affect and cortisol were assessed. Significant time effects were observed for Energetic Arousal and Tense Arousal (p = 0.017) and Feeling Scale and Felt Arousal Scale (p < 0.001). Appetite did not change over time or condition. Cortisol levels increased after RE (p = 0.007). Pre-RE, Tense Arousal was correlated with hunger (r = 0.25, p = 0.047) and desire to eat (r = 0.35, p = 0.005). Post-RE, cortisol was found to be significantly related to Feeling Scale (r = 0.32, p = 0.018), Felt Arousal Scale (r = 0.33, p = 0.015) and Energetic Arousal (r = 0.32, p = 0.018). Varying doses of WP and CP pre-sleep did not have an effect on morning appetite and cortisol, but cortisol was found to be related to affect and appetite.
