Key result
Positive changes in feeling states after exercise were significantly correlated with a greater decrease in Total Mood Disturbance over 10 weeks (rpb=-0.49).
Why the study?
Are changes in feeling states after exercise correlated with changes in overall mood disturbance over 10 weeks of resistance training in formerly sedentary women?
Observational (n=52)

p-value: p=significant
Positive changes in feeling states after exercise are associated with greater decreases in total mood disturbance over a 10-week resistance training program in formerly sedentary women.
Acute feeling-state gains after sessions may predict larger mood benefits from resistance training; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective confirmation.
Changes in feeling states after exercise and changes in overall mood after a period of 10 weeks were correlated after participation in a supervised, moderate intensity resistance training program. 52 previously sedentary, asymptomatic women (M=56 yr.) participated. Point biserial correlations were calculated between the 10-wk. change on the Profile of Mood States using the Total Mood Disturbance score as the continuous variable, and positive or negative change in feeling states after exercise, assessed via the Exercise-induced Feeling Inventory, being the dichotomous variable. Correlations were significant for both the total sample (rpb=-.49) and participants with high initial Total Mood Disturbance based on a median split (rpb=-.55). Participants with positive changes in their feeling states after exercise also showed a significantly greater decrease in Total Mood Disturbance than those with negative changes. Changes in Total Mood Disturbance were not significantly correlated with changes in resting heart rate over the 10 weeks. Discussion included limitations and, after replication, possible application of the findings.

Annesi et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Sedentary, asymptomatic (n=52). Positive change in feeling states after exercise vs. Negative change in feeling states after exercise was evaluated on 10-week change in Total Mood Disturbance score (rpb=-0.49, p=significant). Positive changes in feeling states after exercise were significantly correlated with a greater decrease in Total Mood Disturbance over 10 weeks (rpb=-0.49).
