Affective Responses to High-Intensity Interval Exercise and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise in Female Cancer Survivors

Type: dissertation
Abstract: High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) is associated with positive health outcomes for female cancer survivors. However, little is known regarding how female cancer survivors feel while performing this exercise. The purpose of this study was to compare in-task and post-task affective response to a single bout of HIIE and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) in female cancer survivors. Participants (N=10) attended three laboratory sessions: baseline assessments, HIIE and MICE. Affective valence and arousal were measured before, during and after exercise. Results indicated negligible differences in in-task affective valence (dz=-0.02), but a large effect between conditions for affective arousal (dz=-0.92). Post-task affective response displayed a small effect for all domains (dz=-0.23, dz=-0.17, dz=-0.32) except Calmness, which exhibited a small effect (dz=0.38) of the difference between HIIE and MICE conditions. Preliminary results suggest HIIE and MICE result in similar psychological responses and may be equally likely to be performed by female cancer survivors.
