Abstract(s)
Tailoring exercise prescriptions aimed at improving affective responses to resistance exercise may promote
pleasurable experiences and thus exercise adherence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different timing
protocols for administering rating scales for the assessment of affective valence (Feeling Scale, FS) and perceived
activation (Felt Arousal Scale, FAS) during resistance exercise. Thirty-three experienced male exercisers (M =
36.42 ± 7.72 years) completed the FS and FAS at different times at three percentages of one-repetition maximum
(%1RM) during two exercises (bench press, squat). No differences emerged among different assessment time
points and %1RM. These findings suggest that the post-exercise “affective rebound” phenomenon found in
aerobic exercise may not be as pronounced in resistance exercise. Therefore, the results support the use of FS and
FAS in resistance exercise, administered immediately after a set, over a wide range of %1RM and exercises.
Mounting evidence suggests that the use of these scales in resistance exercise could allow researchers and
practitioners to evaluate affective responses that may be important for adherence.
