“…While traditional PA prescriptions instruct participants to regulate PA based on certain thresholds for intensity (e.g., % of VO 2 max or % heart rate reserve; Garber et al, 2011), selfselected intensity PA prescriptions allow participants to choose their own intensity, whereas affect-regulated prescriptions explicitly instruct participants to choose an intensity that feels good (Zenko et al, 2017). Both self-selected intensity and affect-regulated prescriptions appear to yield more positive affective responses to PA (Parfitt et al, 2006;Lind et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2016) and greater PA engagement over time compared to traditional intensity-based PA prescriptions (Williams et al, 2015(Williams et al, , 2016Baldwin et al, 2016).…”

Affective Determinants of Physical Activity: A Conceptual Framework and Narrative Review

The literature on affective determinants of physical activity (PA) is growing rapidly. The present paper aims to provide greater clarity regarding the definition and distinctions among the various affect-related constructs that have been examined in relation to PA. Affective constructs are organized according to the Affect and Health Behavior Framework (AHBF), including: (1) affective response (e.g., how one feels in response to PA behavior) to PA; (2) incidental affect (e.g., how one feels throughout the day, unrelated to the target behavior); (3) affect processing (e.g., affective associations, implicit attitudes, remembered affect, anticipated affective response, and affective judgments); and (4) affectively charged motivational states (e.g., intrinsic motivation, fear, and hedonic motivation). After defining each category of affective construct, we provide examples of relevant research showing how each construct may relate to PA behavior. We conclude each section with a discussion of future directions for research.
