Abstract
Self-selection aerobic training loads seems to be helpful to the exercise enjoyment taking into account the practitioner decision on intensity level. It is recognized to increase pleasure and fun during exercise performance. Self-selection training load and personal relationships during exercise practice in small group help to maintain regular physical active behavior. PURPOSE: Compare the effect of different aerobic training protocols on heart rate, affective response, affectivity and intention to repeat the training session in both sex adults. PROCEDURES: 11 both sex adults, physically active (x = 56.3 + 10.2 years old and BMI = 29.2 + 2.4 kg/m2) participated in randomized crossover experiment design. Four aerobic training protocols on a treadmill were considered: 1) individual, self-selected intensity-AI; 2) individual with prescribed intensity (IP) (64-76% HRmax); 3) small group with self-selected intensity (SGI); 4) small group with prescribed intensity (SGP) (64-76% HRmax). Each protocol length was 30 minutes’ duration with 72 hours’ interval between sessions. Heart rate (HR), affective response (FS), entertainment (PACES) and intention to repeat the session (INTEN) were analyzed comparing all protocols. Single factor ANOVA (FC, FS and PACES) and paired t test (INTEN) with significance (p < .05) were performed to compare the results. RESULTS: HR analyzed has higher scores in AI, but without significant difference between the protocols (p > .05). FS shows less decline in AI (p < .05), higher PACES scores in AI (p > .05), as well as higher INTEN scores in AI (p < .05). We suggest that higher FS scores increase INTEN for repeating the exercise session.CONCLUSION: Aerobic training in self-selected intensity method was more enjoyable than other protocols (AI), what should be considered to increase affective, fun and intention to repeat the exercise session. Self-selected intensities can positively lead to adherence to the exercise program
