Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training on Psychological Distress and Self-Regulation in Insufficiently Active Male University Students

30. oktober 2026 oppdatert av: Burcu Sıla SEZER

This study compared the effects of two running-based exercise programs on psychological distress, self-control, and emotion regulation in male university students who were not sufficiently physically active.

Thirty-six participants aged 18-25 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups: high-intensity interval training, moderate-intensity continuous training, or a wait-list control group. Both exercise programs lasted eight weeks and included three supervised sessions per week, for a total of 24 sessions. High-intensity interval training involved alternating periods of intense exercise and recovery, while moderate-intensity continuous training involved continuous exercise at a moderate intensity. The control group did not receive either exercise program during the study.

Participants completed questionnaires before and after the eight-week study period. The study examined whether changes in psychological distress, self-control, and emotion regulation differed among the three groups.

Tidsramme
Change in Psychological Distress Measured by the 12-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12)
Tidsramme: Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.Total scores range from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater psychological distress.

Psychological distress was assessed using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Higher total scores indicate greater psychological distress. Changes from baseline to the end of the eight-week intervention were compared across the three groups.

Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.Total scores range from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater psychological distress.
Change in Self-Control Measured by the 9-Item Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS-9)
Tidsramme: Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.

Self-control was assessed using the 9-item Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS-9). Higher scores indicate greater self-control. Changes from baseline to post-intervention were compared across the three groups.

Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.
Change in Emotion Regulation Measured by the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)
Tidsramme: Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.

Emotion regulation was assessed using the Turkish version of the 10-item Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale. The questionnaire assesses cognitive reappraisal (six items) and expressive suppression (four items). Each subscale is scored separately as the mean of its items, ranging from 1 to 7. Higher scores indicate more frequent use of the respective strategy. No overall total score is calculated.

Baseline and 48-72 hours after the final exercise session following the eight-week intervention.
