“…In the research the psychophysical sphere was expressed by the use of Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE) [32] and the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI) Scale of Rejeski and Gauvin [33]. The results revealed the potential benefits of listening to music while swimming.…”

“…Emotional states were measured using the Gauvin's and Rejeski's scale (EFI) [33]. The Gauvin's and Rejeski's scale measures four states: a) positive engagement, b) revitalization, c) tranquility, d) physical exhaustion.…”

Introduction: Music motivates, relaxes and stimulates action and is one factor which enhances the pleasure that people feel from a given movement. Thus, from a psychophysical point of view, listening to music is an important aspect in sport and recreation. With this in mind, the aim of the study was to determine any changes in the participants' psychophysical sphere which resulted from listening to music while swimming. The psychophysical sphere was expressed in relation to the Borg RPE scale (Rating of Perceived Exertion) as well as the Rejeski and Gauvin Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI) scale of emotional states. Material and methods: The participants in the study were not professional swimmers (n = 10). The experiment consisted of two trials in which participants performed the Swimming Cooper test. During the first trial there was no music transmitted while in the second trial specifically selected music was played as the participants swam. Results: An ANOVA variance analysis (α = 0.05) showed statistically significant differences in the RPE scale (p = 0.04) and across all sensations on the EFI scale (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Listening to music while swimming has a significant impact on the human psychophysical sphere and is expressed by a perceived exertion scale and the scale of emotional states. Respondents paid less attention to the discomfort of physical exertion associated with exercise while listening to music. The rating of their emotional states, including positive engagement, revitalization and tranquility considerably increased though the physical exhaustion measures were significantly lower.

“…Affective response to exercise was assessed using the single-item Feeling Scale, 15 whereby participants indicated how they felt immediately after exercise on an 11-point scale ranging from −5 (very bad) to 5 (very good). Feeling states after exercise were evaluated using the 12-item ExerciseInduced Feeling Inventory, 16 which is composed of four subscales (revitalization, tranquility, positive engagement, and physical exhaustion), each assessed by three items. Participants specified the extent to which each item described how they felt after exercise on a scale from 0 (do not feel) to 4 (feel very strongly).…”

Background: There is evidence of the benefits of exercise training in multiple sclerosis (MS); however, few studies have been conducted in individuals with progressive MS and severe mobility impairment. A potential exercise rehabilitation approach is total-body recumbent stepper training (TBRST). We evaluated the safety and participant-reported experience of TBRST in people with progressive MS and compared the efficacy of TBRST with that of body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) on outcomes of function, fatigue, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

“…Typically, respondents are presented with a series of Likert or analogue scales and rate the extent to which they feel particular emotions or mood descriptors. Some of the more common self-report measures of affect used in the sport and exercise environments include the Profile of Mood States (POMS: McNair et al, 1971McNair et al, , 1992 and its derivatives (see Shacham, 1983;Grove & Prapavessis, 1992;Terry et al, 1999), the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS: Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988), the Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List (Thayer, 1986), the Multiple Affective Adjective Checklist -Revised (Zuckerman & Lubin, 1985), and measures developed specifically for the exercise environment, such as the Exercise-induced Feeling Inventory (Gauvin & Rejeski, 1993) and the Subjective Exercise Experience Scale (McAuley & Courneya, 1994).…”

An Overview of Mood and Emotions in Sport

There is no doubt that sport generates powerful emotional responses among participants and spectators alike. The sight of soccer teams and their supporters overwhelmed by euphoria or reduced to despair during the 2002 World Cup is ample testament to this fact. There is also strong anecdotal and scientific evidence that emotions experienced by athletes prior to and during sport performance have a profound effect upon the quality of their performances (see Hanin, 2000). The purpose of this paper is to explore the link between emotional responses and sport performance.The first section addresses conceptual issues, in particular the distinction between the related constructs of emotion and mood; and presents some of the conceptual models put forward by theoreticians. The second section addresses measurement issues. The third section synthesises research on the relationship between mood and athletic performance. The fourth section explores the use of music as a mood management strategy.
