The Impact of Continuous and Interval Cycle Exercise on Affect and Enjoyment.

Unlabelled: Rates of physical activity remain low despite public health efforts. One form of physical activity that provides significant physiological benefit but has not been evaluated in terms of affective and enjoyment responses is interval exercise.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare affect and enjoyment assessed before, during, and after interval and continuous exercise sessions.

A comparison of the impacts of continuous and interval cycle exercise on perceived exertion.

Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were developed to assess exertion during exercise testing. However, assessments of RPE prior to and after exercise have become common and potentially important in understanding exercise behaviour. The purpose of this project was to compare RPE taken before, during and after interval and continuous exercise sessions.

Exertional responses to sprint interval training: a comparison of 30-sec. and 60-sec. conditions.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of sprint interval training on rating of perceived exertion. 20 healthy participants (11 men, 9 women; M age = 23 yr.) completed a maximal cycle ergometer test and two high-intensity interval training cycling sessions.
