Key result
Pre-exercise self-efficacy and in-task tranquility moderated the change in tranquility for high-intensity exercise, while baseline feeling states moderated changes in all four feeling states.
Why the study?
Does moderate or high-intensity exercise alter feeling states in physically active females, and are these changes moderated by self-efficacy and baseline feeling states?

Baseline feeling states, in-task feeling states, and self-efficacy are important moderators of psychological responses to high-intensity exercise.
May moderate affective responses to high-intensity exercise in active females; leaves open their role in personalizing prescriptions.
The present study examined the moderating influence of self‐efficacy, baseline feeling states, and in‐task feeling states on exercise‐related feeling‐state changes at moderate‐ and high‐intensity exercise. Physically active females (N= 60) participated in 1 of 5 conditions: (a) attention control for 30 min, (b) exercise at 50% heart rate reserve (HRR) for 15 min, (c) exercise at 50% HRR for 30 min, (d) exercise at 85% HRR for 15 min, and (e) exercise at 85% HRR for 30 min. The Exercise‐Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI; Gauvin & Rejeski, 1993) was completed pre‐, during, and post‐exercise, while self‐efficacy was completed pre‐exercise. Multilevel modeling (Bryk & Raudenbaush, 1992) revealed that pre‐exercise self‐efficacy and in‐task tranquility moderated the change in tranquility for high‐intensity exercise. Furthermore, baseline feeling states moderated the change in all 4 feeling states. It is recommended that baseline and in‐task feeling states and self‐efficacy be considered when examining high‐intensity exercise.

Blanchard et al. (2002) studied this question. Exercise at 50% or 85% heart rate reserve vs. Attention control for 30 minutes was evaluated on Exercise-related feeling-state changes measured by the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory. Pre-exercise self-efficacy and in-task tranquility moderated the change in tranquility for high-intensity exercise, while baseline feeling states moderated changes in all four feeling states.
