ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation and proximal impact of an intervention designed to enhance adolescents’ affective experience during Physical Education (PE). Healthy adolescents (N = 74) were randomly assigned to an affect-based or a traditional exercise prescription. Intervention logs, observations and interviews documented the implementation of the intervention. Participants completed a 30-min exercise task at an intensity that felt “good” to them before and after the intervention. Study procedures were implemented successfully and students enjoyed study participation. The intervention had no impact on exercise intensity during PE or during the “feels-good” exercise task. Among adolescents who manifested a negative affective response to moderate-intensity exercise at baseline, the selected intensity during the “feels-good” task increased over time. The intervention may have been too weak to impact behavior over and above a high-quality PE program. The results do suggest, however, that reluctant exercisers may choose to exercise at a higher intensity after experiencing a high-quality PE program in combination with heart rate monitoring.

Originally, we intended to use a procedure analogous to that used by Rose and Parfitt [26], who instructed adults to exercise at an intensity equivalent to a “3” on the Feeling Scale. Pilot testing revealed that if we used this instruction then adolescents would consistently report a Feeling Scale rating of “3” during the task without variation. We therefore modified the instructions to ask adolescents to exercise at a level that felt “good”.

We added the buffer of 10 beats above the maximum achieved during the feels-good task because early experience with the intervention revealed that some students were exceeding their maximum simply by walking from the changing room to the field.
