Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that adolescents who practice the exercise session at decreasing intensity will present a more positive affective response during and, especially at the end of the session, which will tend to provide a remembered pleasure with a more positive valence, as well as a perception of a promising anticipated pleasure, replicating previous studies in a laboratory environment, providing the applicability of a protocol for evaluating affect at different intensities in an environment closer to the real one. Furthermore, this affective memory of the exercise may reverse valence after 30 minutes, due to the return to the basal state.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
More positive affective responses are expected in adolescents considered physically active and with a higher level of physical fitness. Furthermore, it is believed that the waist-to-height ratio and muscle mass index (BMI) may be variables that will interfere in the intensity-affect relationship, providing more positive responses in eutrophic individuals. It is also worth noting that previous preferences for exercise may moderate and/or mediate this relationship between exercise and affect in the population studied. Finally, socioeconomic factors may also interfere in the psychological perception of physical exercise.
