Q

Criticisms of generalized measures

A

Not sensitive enough to exercise stimuli
- irrelevant items
- POMS = 6 states
Existing measures fail to detect unique properties of exercsie

Q

Criticisms of Exercise-specific Measures

A
  • Each was initially developed in the absence of a guiding theoretical framework
  • EFI, SEES and PAAS did not satisfactorily address the concerns that led to their development

Q

Categorical Approaches

A
  • Affective states are distinct with unique properties and antecedents
  • Exercise may reduce one state but not others

Q

Dimensional Approaches

A
  • Affective states are interrelated and can be captured by a small number of dimensions
  • Dimensional approaches are broader in scope

Q

Temporal dynamics of affective response

A

Affect experienced during exercise may be distinct from the change reported before and after
- Has implications for exercise prescription and exercise adherence

16
Q

Dose-Response Issues

A
  • What duration is ideal ( some say 20-30 but lack of evidence)
  • How intense should the exercise be (some say moderate
  • Individually determined metabolic landmarks may have implications for the relationship between exercise intensity and affective responses
17
Q

What can maladaptive overtraining lead to

A
  • increased negative mental health
  • poorer performance
  • Clinical depression
  • Changes in psychological profile
18
Q

Iceberg Profile

A
  • Psychological profile of the elite athlete
  • POMS Profile
  • Can be reversed with extreme overtraining
  • Treatment = decreased training load
19
Q

Categorical Measures

A
  • Assumes affective states are distinct with unique properties and antecedents
  • Exercise may reduce one state but not others
20
Q

Dimensional Measures

A
  • Assumes affective states are interrelated and can be captured by a small number of dimensions
  • Broader in scope
21
Q

Feeling Scale

A
  • Single-item measure of valence or hedonic tone
  • Core affect
  • 11 point continuum (-5 to +5)
  • Can be used during exercise
22
Q

Felt Arousal Scale

A
  • Estimate here how aroused you actually feel
  • 1 to 6 scale
23
Q

Two-dimensional circumplex model of affect

A

Activation - arousal (felt arousal scale)
Valence - affect/feelings (feelings scale
- Displayed on 2D graph/ wheel

24
Q

Temporal Dynamic of affective responses

A
  • Affect experience measured during may be distinct from the change reported before and after
  • Has implications for exercise prescription and adherence
25
Q

Ventilatory Threshold

A
  • Inflection point in ventilation during exercise
  • Closely aligned w/lactate threshold
  • Indicates greater contribution of anaerobic metabolism during higher intensity exercise
  • VT is a key intensity indicator for affective responses to exercise
26
Q

Hedonic Theory

A

People gravitate towards behaviours that bring them pleasure

27
Q

Affect-behaviour relationship

A
  • Affective responses during continuous exercise shown to predict future exercise behaviour
  • Concern that negative affect during interval exercise may deter future behaviour
28
Q

How is past exercise experience related to current behavior and adherence

A
  • Highly active people = more preference for higher intensity exercise
  • Anticipated pleasure from increased high intensity = higher likelihood that you will do it again
  • Inactive people prefer low intensity because they anticipated displeasure from high intensity
29
Q

Affect and continuous exercise

A
  • linear decrease in affect over time
  • rises after completion of exercise
30
Q

Affect and interval Exercise

A
  • Affect drops more negatively during high intensity bouts
  • Affect rises during rest periods
31
Q

In-task effect

A

Tends to be more negative affect during interval exercise compared to continuous
