The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of intense running exercise in the presence and absence of interpersonal competition on both (a) pre-exercise anxiety levels and (b) alterations in anxiety as a consequence of the exercise. Seven females and 10 males performed a 5-mile run over the same outdoor course on two separate days. In one condition the subjects ran in a road-race in which intense exercise was combined with interpersonal competition. In the second condition, exercise of the same intensity (84% VO2max) and duration was completed, but interpersonal competition was absent. Cognitive (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; STAI) and somatic (Body Awareness Scale; BAS) aspects of anxiety were measured 15 min before and after exercise as well as on a separate day under non-stressful, baseline conditions. A main effect for the Trials factor was found using repeated measures ANOVA [Condition (presence/absence of interpersonal competition) X Gender X Trials (baseline/pre-exercise/post-exercise)], and post-hoc analysis revealed that post-exercise state anxiety and body awareness levels were both reduced compared to pre-exercise baseline values. Condition and Gender main effects were not significant nor were any of the interaction effects. Pre-exercise STAI and BAS levels were found to be significantly (p less than .01) elevated above baseline values. However, while post-exercise STAI scores were significantly (p less than .01) below the baseline STAI level, the post-exercise BAS values did not fall below the corresponding baseline level.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
