Abstract in brief

  • Affect-guided interval training (AIT) involves alternating 60-second intervals of high and low pleasant intensity for 20 minutes, aiming to reduce the displeasure often associated with traditional high-intensity exercise; it was compared to self-selected exercise and high-intensity interval training, with all sessions being vigorous in intensity.
  • The results showed that AIT was perceived as the most pleasant, with participants recalling it as more enjoyable and experiencing more positive affective forecasts, making it the most enjoyable exercise option among those tested.
  • Both AIT and self-selected exercise led to greater feelings of autonomy compared to traditional high-intensity interval training, and variables like experienced pleasure and affective slopes predicted enjoyment and motivation, suggesting that AIT is a promising and positive exercise alternative.
