Seminal work has found a negative association between physical exercise and impulsivity levels in humans. This paper aims to strengthen these findings by evaluating the association between the amount of self-reported physical exercise per week and emotion-related impulsivity whilst considering age and gender as covariates on a large-scale dataset.Participants completed an online self-report questionnaire about emotion-related impulsivity (i.e. Feelings Trigger Action) and exercise-related questions. After quality control, 773 participants were included in the analysis. Correlational analyses and a multiple regression model explaining the emotion-related impulsivity scores via the amount of exercise per week and demographic characteristics (i.e. age and gender) were performed.The number of hours spent exercising per week was significantly inversely correlated with the Feelings Trigger Action score (r = -.131, < .001) and two out of its three subscales. The multiple linear regression model showed that hours of exercise per week and gender were significantly associated with the Feelings Trigger Action score (std. β = -.122, < .001), however, this model explained only 3.2% of the overall variance.This large-scale dataset confirms seminal work displaying an inverse association between emotion-related impulsivity and hours of exercise per week. Further studies are required to understand the mechanisms underlying the relationship between the two variables.This study (N = 773) confirms seminal work on the connection between exercise and impulsivity.When controlling for demographic variables, the amount of exercise per week was inversely correlated (small effect size) with emotion-related impulsivity levels.In the multiple-regression model, hours of exercise per week and gender were significantly associated with the Feelings Trigger Action score.
开创性研究发现，体育锻炼与人类冲动水平之间存在负相关关系。本文旨在通过在一个大规模数据集中将年龄和性别作为协变量，评估每周自我报告的体育锻炼量与情绪相关冲动之间的关联，以强化这些研究结果。参与者完成了一份关于情绪相关冲动（即感觉引发行动）和锻炼相关问题的在线自我报告问卷。经过质量控制后，773名参与者被纳入分析。进行了相关性分析以及一个多元回归模型，该模型通过每周锻炼量和人口统计学特征（即年龄和性别）来解释情绪相关冲动得分。每周锻炼的小时数与感觉引发行动得分（r = -0.131, p < 0.001）及其三个子量表中的两个显著负相关。多元线性回归模型表明，每周锻炼小时数和性别与感觉引发行动得分显著相关（标准化β = -0.122, p < 0.001），然而，该模型仅解释了总体方差的3.2%。这个大规模数据集证实了开创性研究结果，显示出情绪相关冲动与每周锻炼小时数之间存在负相关关系。需要进一步研究以了解这两个变量之间关系的潜在机制。本研究（N = 773）证实了关于锻炼与冲动之间联系的开创性研究。在控制人口统计学变量时，每周锻炼量与情绪相关冲动水平呈负相关（效应量较小）。在多元回归模型中，每周锻炼小时数和性别与感觉引发行动得分显著相关。
