Exercise and anxiety reduction: examination of temperature as an explanationfor affective change

Article Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between body temperature and anxiety reduction during exercise. Twenty male subjects were made to run under three different temperature conditions to test this relationship. Results showed decreased anxiety levels in all groups and a high correlation between anxiety and temperature change. However, small differences caused by temperature conditionsindicate that increase in body temperature was not necessary to reduce anxiety during exercise.

Anxiety reduction following exercise: methodological artifact or "real" phenomenon?

Article Abstract:

Analysis of two groups of 18 and 20 males each, with average ages of 21.8 and 22.8 years respectively, negates the concept that a reduction in anxiety after exercise was due to the stopping of a dangerous activity and not due to any real exercise activity. No variations in anxiety are noticed before and after a round of exercise, but care should be taken to understand the mental state of the individual prior to the start of an exercise.

The influence of physical fitness and exercise upon cognitive functioning: A meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

A meta-analytic review on the effects of acute and long-term exercise on cognition indicated that exercise has a small positive effect on the mind. However chronic exercise programs with randomized trials resulted in smaller positive gains in cognitive permanence and the weakness in the design of these studies must be taken into consideration.
