To understand the reasons for individuals do or do not exercise, we examined differences in implicit (affective and instrumental) attitudes between runners and non-runners.
In conjunction with electroencephalography (EEG) technology, 31 participants completed the affective and instrumental implicit associations test (IAT).
Behavioural results showed that runners had more positive implicit (affective and instrumental) attitudes than non-runners. EEG results further explained the underlying mechanisms for the differences, namely that runners had higher cortical functional connectivity in the compatible condition than in the incompatible condition, while non-runners had the opposite results.
Higher levels of neural processing efficiency were required for runners to perceive affective expectations towards running. Furthermore, ERP indicators (N1 amplitudes of incompatible tasks) can be used as valid criteria for potentially predicting exercise. This contributed to understanding why individuals do or do not exercise. Further research should focus on the effects of implicit attitudes towards exercise.
为了解个体锻炼或不锻炼的原因，我们研究了跑步者与非跑步者在隐性（情感性和工具性）态度上的差异。
31名参与者结合脑电图（EEG）技术完成了情感性和工具性内隐联想测验（IAT）。
行为结果表明，跑步者比非跑步者具有更积极的隐性（情感性和工具性）态度。EEG结果进一步解释了差异的潜在机制，即跑步者在相容条件下比不相容条件下具有更高的皮层功能连接性，而非跑步者则结果相反。
跑步者需要更高水平的神经处理效率来感知对跑步的情感期望。此外，ERP指标（不相容任务的N1波幅）可作为潜在预测锻炼的有效标准。这有助于理解个体锻炼或不锻炼的原因。进一步的研究应关注对锻炼的隐性态度的影响。
