Effects of Hiit Associated With Emotional Regulation on Negative Emotions

August 20, 2022 updated by: Irinaldo Capitulino de Souza, Federal University of Paraíba
Despite the benefits of physical exercise, the population does not adhere to the recommended levels of physical activity. The reported difficulties in starting and maintaining a physical exercise program are attributed to personal barriers and lack of motivation. Thus, there is an urgent need for efficient intervention proposals to increase engagement in daily physical exercise. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a promising and economical method, aiming at the development of efforts at high, maximum or supramaximal intensity, based on several methods: calisthenics (using the body's own strength) resistance (heavy objects, bars or devices for high-repetition resistance activities) and traditional (exercise modalities such as running and cycling). Emotional regulation (ER) is essential for the psychosocial well-being of human beings and is defined as the ability to influence, experience and express emotions, being an action, conscious or not, that directly modulates emotions and alters their nature as the intensity and duration. Regular physical exercise has been attributed to a reduction in depression symptoms, an increase in emotional well-being and a reduction in negative feelings. In addition to physical exercise, the use of cognitive reassessment to regulate emotions was positively associated with a decrease in negative affect in psychopathological diagnoses.

Detailed Description

Main goal

To evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) associated with a cognitive reassessment strategy on negative emotions in sedentary women.

Specific objectives

Evaluate and compare the positive and negative affective of women in three moments; Evaluate and compare the intensity and valence of emotions in three moments; Investigate possible associations between emotion dysregulation and emotion regulation strategies in positive and negative affect; Investigate and compare HIIT intensity and emotion regulation strategy in pleasure and displeasure during physical exercise during practice.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: HIIT and Cognitive Reassessment
The experimental group will receive high-intensity interval training associated with cognitive reassessment
Other: HIIT and Cognitive Reassessment
Participants will receive 40 minutes of high-intensity interval training focusing on the upper and lower limbs associated with a cognitive reassessment strategy during the exercises.
Active Comparator: HIIT Group
The HITT group will receive only the exercise without cognitive reassessment
Other: HIIT group
Participants will receive high-intensity interval training, lasting 40 minutes, focusing on upper and lower limbs.
Active Comparator: Emotional regulation strategy group
This group will receive only cognitive reassessment strategy
Other: Emotional regulation strategy group
Participants will be instructed to cognitively reassess the negative emotions they feel or do not feel during the practice of the exercises. Participants will receive instructions on how to reassess.
Placebo Comparator: Group No exercise and cognitive reassessment
This group will only be evaluated in pre and post, without intervention.
Other: placebo group
Participants in this group will not receive any intervention. Only pre and post experiment will be evaluated.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positive and Negative Affect Scale
Time Frame: Fifteen days
Each item is rated on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 = Very Slightly or Not at all to 5 = Extremely, to measure the extent to which affect was experienced in a specified period of time.
Fifteen days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Self Assessment Manikin
Time Frame: Fifteen days
The Self-Assessment Mannequin (SAM) is a non-verbal pictorial assessment technique that directly measures pleasure, arousal, and mastery associated with a person's affective reaction to a wide variety of stimuli. The reports are subjective to measure a series of images that varied in both valence and affective intensity.
Fifteen days
Feeling Scale
Time Frame: Fifteen days
The feeling scale was used to assess affective valence. The 11-point bipolar scale ranging from very bad (-5) to very good (+5), with anchors at Neutral (0) and all odd integers, including bad (-3), fairly bad (-1), reasonably good (+1) and good (+3).
Fifteen days
The Perceived Effort Scale
Time Frame: Fifteen days
Borg's Perceived Exertion Rating (RPE) is a way of measuring the intensity level of physical activity. These include a rating of 6 perceiving "no exertion" to 20 perceiving a "maximum exertion" of exertion. Practitioners generally agree that perceived exertion ratings between 12 and 14 on the Borg Scale suggest that physical activity is being performed at a moderate level of intensity.
