Mood deterioration in response to exercise cessation is well-documented, but moderators of this effect remain unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that physically active individuals with higher levels of cognitive vulnerability (i.e., tendencies towards negative thought content and processes in response to stress or negative mood states) are at greater risk for increased anxiety and depressive symptoms when undergoing exercise cessation. Community adults meeting recommended physical activity guidelines (=36) participated in a 4-week prospective, longitudinal study with 2 weeks each of maintained exercise and exercise cessation. Cognitive vulnerability measures included dysfunctional attitudes, brooding rumination, and cognitive reactivity (i.e., change in dysfunctional attitudes over a dysphoric mood induction). Anxiety and depression symptoms increased during exercise cessation. Brooding emerged as a risk factor for increases in Tension scores on the Profile of Mood States-Brief during exercise cessation. Future studies should explore brooding as a mediator (i.e., potential mechanism) of exercise-induced mood deterioration.
运动停止后情绪恶化已有充分记录，但这种效应的调节因素尚不清楚。本研究检验了以下假设：认知易损性水平较高（即对应激或负面情绪状态时出现消极思维内容和过程的倾向）的身体活跃个体，在停止运动时出现焦虑和抑郁症状增加的风险更高。符合推荐身体活动指南（≥36）的社区成年人参与了一项为期4周的前瞻性纵向研究，其中维持运动和运动停止各2周。认知易损性测量包括功能失调性态度、沉思反刍和认知反应性（即烦躁情绪诱导期间功能失调性态度的变化）。运动停止期间焦虑和抑郁症状增加。沉思成为运动停止期间情绪状态简表中紧张得分增加的一个风险因素。未来研究应探讨沉思作为运动诱发情绪恶化的中介因素（即潜在机制）。
