The psychological benefits of exercise are repeatedly and consistently reported in the literature. Various forms of exercise, varying in duration and intensity, yield comparably positive changes in affect, which sheds doubt on the significance of exercise characteristics in the acute mental health benefits resulting from physical activity.
Based on research evidence, it is argued that the placebo effect may play a key role in the subjective exercise experience. This report is aimed at highlighting those aspects of the extant literature that call for the reconsideration of the placebo effect in the understanding of the acute mental benefits of physical activity.
This narrative review focuses on research evidence demonstrating that the duration and intensity of physical activity are not mediatory factors in the mental health benefits of acute exercise. Current research evidence pointing to the roles of expectancy and conditioning in the affective benefits of exercise calls for the reconsideration of the placebo effect.
The present evaluation concludes that new research effort ought to be invested in the placebo-driven affective beneficence of exercise.
运动的心理益处在文献中反复得到一致的报道。各种形式的运动，持续时间和强度不同，都会对情绪产生类似的积极变化，这使人怀疑运动特征对身体活动带来的急性心理健康益处的重要性。
基于研究证据，有人认为安慰剂效应可能在主观运动体验中起着关键作用。本报告旨在强调现有文献中那些需要重新考虑安慰剂效应在理解身体活动急性心理益处方面的作用的方面。
本叙述性综述重点研究了证明身体活动的持续时间和强度不是急性运动对心理健康益处的中介因素的研究证据。目前指向期望和条件作用在运动的情感益处中的作用的研究证据，呼吁重新考虑安慰剂效应。
目前的评估得出结论，应该在安慰剂驱动的运动情感益处方面投入新的研究工作。
