Exam 12: Emotional Well-Being and Exercise

A relatively recent approach to studying affective responses based on the idea that controlled laboratory studies might not translate well to everyday life involves the use of:

Using the figure at the right, depict the affective response of an individual during a maximal graded exercise test to exhaustion and the response immediately following the exercise and into recovery. Use the following labels to depict the response: It is sufficient to simply use the letters in the appropriate place on the figure. a. Pre-exercise b. 5 minutes into exercise c. Ventilatory threshold d. End of exercise e. 1 minutes post-exercise f. 20 minutes post-exercise

William James is well known as which of the following?

There is abundant evidence supporting the development of the multiple-item, exercise-specific measures of affect, particularly the concern that exercise has unique, distinct properties that influences affect unlike anything else.

The fairly common finding of an activated pleasant state during and following a moderate intensity bout of physical activity (e.g., walking) has been referred to by Thayer as the:

What would be another way to characterize the affective state being experienced at Post-0? in the previous question?

Compare what is known when pre-to-post affective responses to exercise are examined versus when affective responses examined during exercise.

The figure below depicts a model of affect that is currently being used to examine affective responses to exercise. What is the name of this theoretical model?

It is apparent from work examining activation/valence responses during exercise that responses are highly consistent across subjects.

Distinguish between primary and secondary exercise dependence.

Using the data depicted in the figure above, which of the following occurred when comparing affect following a 10-minute walk (Post-0') to the pre-walk (Pre) affect? (Use only the Walking group data.)

Although genetics have been shown to explain numerous factors related to physical activity, there is currently no evidence of a genetic predisposition to experience greater enjoyment at higher intensities of exercise

Which of the following reflects a positive relationship between exercise and mental health?

A One of the factors proposed to help understand affective responses to exercise involves exploring biological mediators. One of these, caffeine, has been shown to result in:

The more "modern" approach to studying the affective outcomes of exercise and physical activity that assumes that affective states are inter-related is which of the following?

Which of the following best characterizes moods (relative to emotions)?

Although exercise has been shown to result in reductions in both anxiety and depression, there is no evidence that it can improve positive affective states.

Which of the following is true, given what is being discovered in research examining affective responses to exercise?

Distinguish among mood, emotion, and affect.

Affect is referred to as a more general "valenced" response. How is valence characterized?
