Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of acute walking duration on the change of affects and to examine cognitive factor-determined affects with walking. The participants comprised 82 university freshmen. They were assigned either to the “15-min walking group” or to the “30-min walking group.” Two measures, namely, the Waseda Affect Scale of Exercise and Durable Activity (WASEDA) and the Feeling Scale (FS) are exercise-specific affect scales that consider affects with respect to walking bouts. Further, the cognitive factor-influenced affects with walking were considered. These comprised associative factors, namely, “paying attention to your body” and “your sweat” and dissociative factors, namely, “the person walking with you” and “the scenery along the road.” This study involved 2 groups that were twice subjected to between-groups and repeated-measures mixed designs. Participants were rated based on the WASEDA and FS before and after walking. Further, after walking, the participants were assessed for subjective exercise intensity (RPE scale) during walking and cognitive factor-determined affects with walking. We concluded that the change of affects and the evaluation of cognitive factor-determined affects did not differ with respect to walking durations (15 min or 30 min). In both groups, it was suggested that the dissociative factors, i.e., “the person walking with you” and “the scenery along the road” explained the affects after walking. Therefore, walking by using a strategy that focuses on dissociative factors (dissociative strategy) possibly influences the change of affects after walking in a more favorable manner than a strategy that focuses on associative factors (associative strategy) during walking.
