Description

This paper investigates the relationship between exercise purpose and attentional focus and cognitive strategy during aerobic exercise. We compare the attentional focus and cognitive strategy used in five exercise purpose groups: improvement of athletic performance and physical strength; maintenance and improvement of health; maintenance of style and weight; losing weight, and stress relief and distraction. Attentional focus and cognitive strategy are based on Brick et al.6): internal sensory monitoring, active self-regulation, outward monitoring, active distraction, and involuntary distraction. We have found that conscious or often used attentional focus and cognitive strategy differ among groups. This suggests that attentional focus and cognitive strategy are influenced by the purpose of exercise, and that the effects of attentional focus and cognitive strategy may change with the purpose of exercise. Future studies should consider the influence of exercise purpose to clarify the effects of attentional focus and cognitive strategy.
