Brief Summary

Previous research is equivocal concerning if high intensity interval training is viewed as more aversive versus moderate exercise. Our data in active men and women showed that interval training is viewed as more enjoyable than higher volume moderate exercise.

Conditions

Exercise Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Physical activity enjoyment score (PACES)

  This is an 18-item categorical survey used to assess participants' enjoyment of the bout of physical activity that was just completed

  This was measured 10 min post-exercise in all participants during the 3 mo of data collection.

• Oxygen uptake

  Oxygen uptake (VO2) represents mitochondrial consumption of oxygen to drive cellular metabolism generating ATP to support muscular contraction.

  Measured continuously during exercise during the 3 mo of data collection.

Study Arms (1)

Active men and women

Healthy, active men and women ages 18-45 yr completed 1 bout of high intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training in a randomized, crossover design.

Other: Exercise intensity

Interventions

Exercise intensity OTHER

Participants were randomized to 1 or 2 exercise intensities, moderate or high (interval training).

Active men and women

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
