Examination of the Consistency in Affective Response to Acute Exercise in Overweight and Obese Women.

ABSTRACT: This study examined whether inactive, overweight/obese women experience consistent affective responses to moderate-intensity exercise. Twenty-eight women participated in 3 identical (same treadmill grade and speed within a subject) 30-min exercise sessions. The Feeling Scale (FS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and Subjective Exercise Experience Scale were administered pre- and postexercise and FS was also administered every 5 min during exercise. All measures exhibited less than optimal agreement in pre-to-postexercise change within an individual across the 3 sessions (ICCs = 0.02-0.60), even after controlling for within-subject variations in heart rate. Only FS exhibited "good" consistency when controlling for preexercise values (ICC = 0.72). However, the mean FS score during exer
