This study examined the self-efficacy and affective responses to an acute exercise bout in sedentary older and younger women to determine whether aging has an effect on affective states.
Twenty-five sedentary younger (mean age = 19.9 yrs) and 25 older (mean age = 55.7 yrs) women completed an acute bout of exercise. Affective responses were measured before, during, and immediately following exercise. Self-efficacy responses were measured before and immediately following exercise.
Positive engagement, revitalization, tranquility, Felt Arousal and Feeling Scale responses, and self-efficacy were all higher immediately following compared with before or during exercise for both groups of women. In addition, older women experienced higher overall positive engagement and lower physical exhaustion compared with younger women as well as higher tranquility and Feeling Scale responses immediately following exercise.
This investigation found that an acute bout of moderate-intensity exercise produced more positive and fewer negative affective states in both younger and older women.
本研究旨在检测久坐的老年和年轻女性在一次急性运动后的自我效能感和情感反应，以确定衰老是否会对情感状态产生影响。
25 名久坐的年轻女性（平均年龄=19.9 岁）和 25 名年长女性（平均年龄=55.7 岁）完成了一次急性运动。在运动前、运动中和运动后立即测量情感反应。在运动前和运动后立即测量自我效能感反应。
对于两组女性，积极参与、恢复活力、宁静、感觉唤醒和感觉量表反应以及自我效能感在运动后立即都比运动前或运动中更高。此外，与年轻女性相比，老年女性在运动后总体上表现出更高的积极参与度和更低的身体疲劳感，以及更高的宁静感和感觉量表反应。
本研究发现，急性中等强度运动在年轻和年长女性中都产生了更多积极的情感状态和更少的消极情感状态。
