Presentation Abstract
Examine exercise intensity, energy expenditure (EE), and perceptual responses to work-matched moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) and variable-intensity exercise (VIE). On separate days, the exercise bouts were performed in a counterbalanced order. Oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) were averaged over the bout. OMNI ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and affect, via Feelings Scale, were measured in-exercise and enjoyment was measured post-exercise using the physical activity enjoyment scale. During VIE and MIE, HR and percent of maximal HR were significantly different. Absolute VO2 during VIE and MIE were 1.42 ± 0.22 L∙min-1 and 1.27 ± 0.24 L∙min-1, respectively (p=0.13). The intensities relative to VO2max were similar between bouts. Total EE of VIE and MIE were 212.5 ± 32.3 kcals and 189.4 ± 36.3 kcals, respectively (p=0.12). In-exercise affect and post-exercise enjoyment were greater in VIE than MIE, but RPE was similar. VIE was perceived as more enjoyable, while eliciting a greater HR response and similar energy expenditure as MIE.
