METHODS: Forty-seven non-regular exercisers were randomized into two groups. For both groups, the intervention consisted of three exercise sessions based on the Frequency-Intensity-Time-Type (FITT) principle. However, the experimental group also received an individualized intensity prescription based on prior assessment of preference for and tolerance of exercise intensity, as well as instructions emphasizing the promotion of pleasure as a basis for self-regulating exercise intensity. The primary outcome was gymnasium attendance over an eight-week follow-up period. Secondary outcomes were affective valence and arousal, post-exercise enjoyment, core affective exercise experiences, and anticipated and remembered affect.
RESULTS: Forty-six participants were retained for analysis (Mage = 32.00; SD = 8.62 years; 56.5% female). Compared to the control group, the experimental group exhibited 77% higher session attendance (14.35 vs. 8.13 sessions) over the eight-week follow-up period (group main effect p = .018, η2p = .120; Cohen\'s d ranged from 0.28 to 0.91 during follow-up). Also, the experimental group reported higher levels of pleasure during the intervention sessions (for all group main effects, p < .001, η2p from .33 to .37) and higher levels of remembered pleasure (group main effect p = .021, η2p = .116) and anticipated pleasure (group main effect p = .022, η2p = .114). No harm was detected.
CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of an intervention aimed at enhancing affective responses to exercise in improving short-term session attendance.

方法:将47名非规律运动者随机分为两组。对于这两个群体来说,干预包括基于频率-强度-时间类型(FITT)原则的3次锻炼.然而,实验组还根据先前对运动强度的偏好和耐受性的评估,接受了个性化的强度处方,以及强调促进快乐作为自我调节运动强度的基础的说明。主要结果是八周随访期间的体育馆出勤。次要结果是情感效价和唤醒,运动后的享受,核心情感锻炼经验,预期和记忆的影响。
结果:46名参与者被保留用于分析(Mage=32.00;SD=8.62岁;56.5%为女性)。与对照组相比,实验组的会议出勤率提高了77%(14.35vs.8.13次会议)在八周的随访期内(组主要效应p=.018,η2p=.120;随访期间科恩的d范围为0.28至0.91)。此外,实验组在干预期间报告了更高的快乐水平(对于所有组的主要影响,p<.001,η2p从.33到.37)以及更高水平的记忆愉悦(组主要效应p=.021,η2p=.116)和预期愉悦(组主要效应p=.022,η2p=.114)。没有发现任何伤害。
结论:这些结果证明了旨在增强对运动的情感反应的干预措施在改善短期会议出勤率方面的实用性和有效性。
