Key result
Cardioceptive accuracy was associated with the arousal component of affective states during physical activity, but not with valence or perceived exertion.
Why the study?
Cardioceptive accuracy is known to associate with affective intensity at rest, but its association with affective responses (arousal and valence) during physical activity required investigation.
Is cardioceptive accuracy associated with arousal, valence, and perceived exertion during physical activity?
Cross-Sectional (n=67)
Is cardioceptive accuracy associated with arousal, valence, and perceived exertion during physical activity?
Cardioceptive accuracy correlates with arousal but not valence or perceived exertion during physical exertion.
Under resting conditions, cardioceptive accuracy-the acuity of the perception of heartbeats-is associated with the self-reported intensity of affective states but not with reported valence. Physical exertion elicits positive affect below the anaerobic threshold and negative affect above the threshold while arousal gradually increases. The current research aimed to study the associations between cardioceptive accuracy and characteristics of the affective response (arousal and valence) during physical activity. About 67 undergraduate students completed the Schandry task and rated their perceived exertion (Borg-scale) and affective experience (arousal and valence) under three physical loads (running on a treadmill below, around, and above the anaerobic threshold). Cardioceptive accuracy was associated with the arousal component of the affective states during physical activity but not with valence and perceived exertion.
