Obesity remains a prominent societal threat and burden despite well-promoted prevention and treatment strategies, such as regular engagement in physical activity. Obese individuals, in particular, may be prone to inactivity as a result of a variety of displeasure-related parameters resulting from exercise, such as dyspnea, for instance.
This brief conceptual review discusses the integral roles of exercise-induced affective responses within a novel conceptual-based neurocognitive affect-related model. Specifically, this model includes three pathways: (1) pathway A proposes that neurocognition, and especially, executive function-based cognition, may play an influential role in fostering exercise-induced affective responses, (2) pathway B connects an individual's affective response from exercise to their future exercise behavior, and (3) pathway C suggests a cyclical, bi-directional relationship with executive function indirectly influencing future exercise behavior via affective responses to exercise, and exercise itself playing an important role in executive functioning. Future studies should empirically test this model, which may have utility for promoting exercise among the obese population.
尽管有广泛宣传的预防和治疗策略，如定期进行身体活动，肥胖仍然是一个突出的社会威胁和负担。肥胖个体尤其可能由于运动引起的各种与不适相关的参数而不活动，例如呼吸困难。
本简要概念综述讨论了运动引起的情感反应在新型基于概念的神经认知情感相关模型中的作用。具体来说，该模型包括三个途径：（1）途径 A 提出神经认知，尤其是基于执行功能的认知，可能在促进运动引起的情感反应中发挥重要作用；（2）途径 B 将个体从运动中获得的情感反应与其未来的运动行为联系起来；（3）途径 C 表明存在一个循环、双向关系，执行功能通过对运动的情感反应间接影响未来的运动行为，而运动本身对执行功能起着重要作用。未来的研究应该通过实证来检验该模型，这可能对促进肥胖人群的运动行为具有实用价值。
