The results of most recent studies have generally indicated an improvement in mood after participation in aerobic exercise. However, only a few researchers have compared mindful modes of exercise with aerobic exercise to examine the effect of 1 single session of exercise on mood. In the present study, the authors assessed state anxiety, depressive mood, and subjective well-being prior to and following 1 class of 1 of 4 exercise modes: yoga, Feldenkrais (awareness through movement), aerobic dance, and swimming; a computer class served as a control. Participants were 147 female general curriculum and physical education teachers (mean age = 40.15, SD = 0.2) voluntarily enrolled in a 1-year enrichment program at a physical education college. Analyses of variance for repeated measures revealed mood improvement following Feldenkrais, swimming, and yoga but not following aerobic dance and computer lessons. Mindful low-exertion activities as well as aerobic activities enhanced mood in 1 single session of exercise. The authors suggest that more studies assessing the mood-enhancing benefits of mindful activities such as Feldenkrais and yoga are needed.
最近的大多数研究结果普遍表明，参与有氧运动后情绪有所改善。然而，只有少数研究人员将正念运动模式与有氧运动进行比较，以检验单次运动对情绪的影响。在本研究中，作者在4种运动模式（瑜伽、费登奎斯疗法（通过运动觉察）、有氧舞蹈和游泳）中的1种课程前后，评估了状态焦虑、抑郁情绪和主观幸福感；电脑课程作为对照。参与者是147名女性普通课程和体育教师（平均年龄 = 40.15，标准差 = 0.2），她们自愿参加了一所体育学院为期1年的进修项目。重复测量方差分析显示，费登奎斯疗法、游泳和瑜伽课程后情绪有所改善，但有氧舞蹈和电脑课程后则没有。在单次运动中，正念低强度活动以及有氧运动都能改善情绪。作者建议，需要进行更多研究来评估费登奎斯疗法和瑜伽等正念活动对情绪提升的益处。
