Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) combined with moderate alcohol consumption on mental well-being and mood in healthy young adults. Methods. Seventy-four participants from Spain (18–40 years; 46 % female) were assigned to a control group or a HIIT group (2 days/week) with either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages (330 ml of the respective beverage at lunch and 330 ml at dinner for men, and 330 ml at dinner for women, from Monday to Friday). The HIIT-Alcohol group consumed alcoholic beer or vodka-sparkling water (5.4 %), while the HIIT-NonAlcohol group consumed non-alcoholic beer or sparkling water. A control group maintained an active lifestyle without regular training. Psychosocial parameters and mood were assessed at baseline and after 10 weeks using questionnaires, with bi-weekly assessments of stress, emotional intelligence, and mood. Results. Both intervention groups showed improvements in depression, affective and mood state parameters, and emotional intelligence after a 10-week HIIT program (all p < 0.05), independently of alcohol consumption, with no statistical differences between groups or sex influence (all p > 0.05). No significant improvements were noted in any of the variables in the Non-Training group. Conclusions. We provide evidence that a 10-week HIIT program elicits improvements in psychosocial parameters and mood adaptations in healthy young adults. Moreover, no significant impairments were noted due to alcohol intake in moderate amounts.

健康年轻人在高强度间歇训练计划和适度饮酒下的社会心理和情感适应：啤酒- hiit研究

目的：本研究旨在探讨高强度间歇训练（HIIT）结合适度饮酒对健康年轻人心理健康和情绪的影响。方法：来自西班牙的74名参与者(18-40岁；46%的女性)被分配到对照组或HIIT组（每周2天），饮用含酒精或不含酒精的饮料（周一至周五，男性午餐330毫升，晚餐330毫升，女性晚餐330毫升）。hiit酒精组饮用含酒精的啤酒或伏特加苏打水（5.4%），而hiit非酒精组饮用不含酒精的啤酒或苏打水。对照组保持积极的生活方式，没有定期训练。在基线和10周后使用问卷评估心理社会参数和情绪，每两周评估一次压力、情商和情绪。结果：经过10周的HIIT训练，两组在抑郁、情感和情绪状态参数以及情绪智力方面均有改善（均p0.05）。非训练组在任何变量上都没有明显的改善。结论：我们提供的证据表明，10周的HIIT计划可以改善健康年轻人的社会心理参数和情绪适应。此外，适量饮酒并没有引起明显的损伤。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
