Mood
Mood-Related Terminology
- Affect vs. Mood vs. Emotion
- ______: underlying, low intensity, reflexive.

True
Circumflex Model (exam)
- Model describing affect along the perimeter of a circle defined by two dimensions:
1) ________: pleasure/displeasure.
2) _________: level of arousal.
- Valence: pleasure/displeasure .
- Activation: level of arousal.
Circumflex Model
The four quadrants:
- Pleasant-Activated: enthusiasm, energy
- Pleasant-Unactivated: relaxation, calmness
- Unpleasant-Unactivated: bored, fatigue

Treatment of Low Mood
There are two types of treatment for low mood.
1) ______ treatment.
2) _______ treatment.
1) Formal treatment
2) Informal treatment
Treatment of Low Mood
- _______ Treatment:
- Physical activity
- Social activities
- Recreational activities
- Etc.
Informal
Treatment of Low Mood
- ______ Treatment:
- Not required or recommended.
- Appropriate only with a related clinical diagnosis, likely depression.
Formal
Exercise and Mood
*_______ of measurement is important!
- Pre-Exercise Affect
- Provides a _______ for change and comparison.
- Post-Exercise Affect
- Almost always [positive/negative?] after exercise of any intensity or duration.
- During-Exercise Affect
- Dependent upon intensity.
- Popular notions about intensity
- Many promote vigorous exercise without much consideration of affective responses.
- -“Go hard or go home!”
- -“No pain, no gain!”
Timing
baseline
positive
Dual Mode Model
*Conceptual framework for the relationship between exercise ______ and _____.
intensity and affect
Dual Mode Model
- Domains of intensity:
- ________: below AT (anaerobic threshold)
- Heavy: around/slightly above AT.
- ______: well above AT.
*Model suggests affective response is the result of interplay between physiological signals and psychological processes
Moderate
Severe
Pertaining to the Dual Mode Model, it’s most important to know how individuals feel [pre/during/post] exercise.
DURING (in task)
Exercise and In-Task Mood
- Exercise intensity
- Moderate: affect almost always [positive/negative?]
- Heavy: affect varies based on perceptions/psychology.
- Severe: affect almost always [positive/negative?]
positive
negative (reduced)
Exercise and In-Task Mood
- Key Points:
- [Pre-task/In-task] affect is more predictive of future behavior than post-exercise affect.
- High intensity is good for physiology but not for ______ (and adherence).
In-task
affect
Dynamics of Mood Responses
(AT = anaerobic threshold)
- When should affect be measured?
- During, before, or after exercise.
- Affect experienced during an exercise bout may be distinct from the affective change reported before and after exercise.
- Below AT: [positive/negative?] during and [positive/negative?] after.
- Above AT: neutral/negative during and [positive/negative?] after.
- Implications for exercise prescription
- Post-exercise positive feelings might not be sufficient to override negative feelings during.
Below AT: POSITIVE during and POSITIVE after
Above AT: neutral/negative during and POSITIVE after.
What About Intervals?
- Intervals completed at near ________ intensity seem to provide a potent physiological benefit without significant compromise in affect (and perhaps adherence).
- Interval Intensity: 80-90%.
- Interval Length: less than 2 minutes.
- Work-Rest Ratio: approximately 1:1.
maximal
Practical Recommendations
- Become aware of how people feel when they do and do not exercise.
- Schedule exercise time during [high/low?] energy periods.
- Non-excessive exercise results in more [positive/negative?] affective responses, particularly if done below ventilatory threshold.
*_________ exercise tends to increase energy and mood.
*Exact characteristics needed to maximize affect are not yet clear, but intensity must be carefully considered.
low
positive
Moderate
