Abstract
To
assess
the
effects
of
exercise
intensity
and
fitness
level
on
state
anxiety
scores
after
exercise
one
hundred
and
fourteen
male
volunteers
participated
in a
controlled
experiment.
All
subjects
exercised
on a
bicycle
ergometer
the
control
group
at an
unstressed
heart
rate
and the
three
experimental
groups
at
100
,
120
, and
140
bpm
,
respectively.
Subjects
were
randomly
assigned
to
groups.
Measurements
of
state
anxiety
level
were
made
prior
to
,
immediately
following
and at
twelve
minutes
after
exercise.
Subjects'
levels
of
fitness
and
trait
anxiety
also were
assessed.
Analysis
of
covariance
revealed
a
significant
effect
of
exercise
intensity
at
twelve
minutes
after
exercise.
Analysis
using
Dunnett's
test
showed
that this
difference
resulted
from a
significant
reduction
in
anxiety
level
for those
who
exercised
at
140
bpm.
Those
who
exercised
at
100
and
120
bpm
did
not
differ
from the
control
group.
The
conclusion
is
that
moderate
exercise
,
assigned
on an
individual
basis
in
terms
of
heart
rate
is
an
effective
means
of
alleviating
anxiety.
