Although resistance training (RT) can lead to acute improvements in psychological, physiological and psychosocial outcomes, prevalence rates remain low in college-age females likely due to perceived barriers. This study compared the effects of an acute bout of both a functional RT (FRT) and traditional RT (TRT) session on affect, state anxiety enjoyment and physiological measures.
Females (n = 34, mean age = 27 ± 4.5 yr) not currently meeting American College of Sports Medicine RT guidelines completed four sessions (2 FRT, 2 TRT) within 4 wk in a randomized crossover design. Session 1 familiarized participants to the RT exercises. Session 2 consisted of 2 × 10 moderate intensity repetitions. Outcome measures included affect and state anxiety (preexercise, postexercise, and 15 min postexercise); enjoyment (post), and manipulation measures of session RPE and HR).
Between-condition comparisons indicate change scores in state anxiety pre- to post-15 (P = 0.028) and enjoyment levels post- (P = 0.02) were significantly greater in FRT than TRT. Within-condition analyses revealed pre- to post-15 changes in affect were positive and greater in FRT (d = 0.79) than TRT (d = 0.53, P = 0.47), and greater in decreases in state anxiety (FRT, d = -0.58; TRT, d = -0.37, P = 0.028). Mean session RPE was not significantly different between conditions (FRT 6 ± 1.2 units; TRT 6.3 ± 1.1 units; P = 0.11), though average percent of age-predicted maximum HR (FRT 68.7 ± 7.6; TRT 57.1 ± 8.4) was significantly different (P < 0.01).
Findings suggest that compared with TRT, FRT is associated with higher acute positive psychological states, higher levels of enjoyment, and greater energy expenditure. Future studies are recommended to examine additional measures of affect and in-task timepoints to determine how these responses relate to maintenance and adherence, thereby potentially increasing the proportion of college females meeting American College of Sports Medicine RT and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity guidelines.
尽管抗阻训练(RT)可导致心理、生理和心理社会结果的急性改善,但由于感知到的障碍,其在大学年龄女性中的流行率仍然较低。本研究比较了急性功能性 RT(FRT)和传统 RT(TRT)对情绪、状态焦虑、享受和生理测量的影响。
未达到美国运动医学学院 RT 指南的女性(n=34,平均年龄 27±4.5 岁)在 4 周内以随机交叉设计完成了 4 次训练(2 次 FRT,2 次 TRT)。第 1 次训练让参与者熟悉 RT 练习。第 2 次训练包括 2×10 次中等强度重复。结果测量包括情绪和状态焦虑(运动前、运动后和运动后 15 分钟);享受(运动后)以及训练后感知用力程度(RPE)和心率(HR)。
组间比较表明,与 TRT 相比,FRT 在运动后 15 分钟时的状态焦虑评分(P=0.028)和享受水平(P=0.02)的变化显著更大。在条件内分析中,FRT 组的情绪从运动前到运动后 15 分钟的变化是积极的,并且比 TRT 组(d=0.53,P=0.47)更大,状态焦虑的下降也更大(FRT,d=-0.58;TRT,d=-0.37,P=0.028)。FRT 组和 TRT 组的平均训练后 RPE 无显著差异(FRT 6±1.2 单位;TRT 6.3±1.1 单位;P=0.11),但平均预测年龄最大心率的百分比(FRT 68.7±7.6;TRT 57.1±8.4)有显著差异(P<0.01)。
与 TRT 相比,FRT 与更高的急性积极心理状态、更高的享受水平和更大的能量消耗有关。建议未来的研究检查更多的情绪测量和任务内时间点,以确定这些反应如何与维持和坚持相关,从而有可能增加符合美国运动医学学院 RT 和中到剧烈体力活动指南的大学女性比例。
