Abstract

This study examined the relationships between different types of exercise imagery and feeling states, and determined whether exercise behavior moderated these relationships. Following an exercise session, 162 participants (97 females, 65 male; Mage = 23.84, SD = 7.09) completed the Exercise Imagery Inventory (Giacobbi, Hausenblas, & Penfield, 2005), the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory (Gauvin & Rejeski, 1993), and the Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin & Shephard, 1985). Positive feeling states were predicted by increased use of exercise feelings imagery. However, appearance-health imagery acted as a suppressor variable to enhance the magnitude of relationship with revitalization and tranquility. Moreover, technique imagery partially mediated the relationship with positive engagement. Finally, moderated hierarchical multiple regressions followed by simple slope analysis indicated that the positive relationship between exercise feelings imagery and revitalization was only significant for participants who exercised less. This study provides empirical evidence that the relationship between imagery and feeling states is moderated by exercise behavior and suggests that imagery interventions for enhancing the positive exercise-induced feeling states might yield the most pronounced benefits for less active individuals.

运动的图像与感觉状态有关吗?

本研究考察了不同类型的运动意象和感觉状态之间的关系，并确定运动行为是否调节了这些关系。锻炼后，162名参与者(97名女性，65名男性;Mage = 23.84, SD = 7.09)完成了运动意象量表(Giacobbi, Hausenblas， & Penfield, 2005)、运动诱发感觉量表(Gauvin & Rejeski, 1993)和休闲时间运动问卷(Godin & Shephard, 1985)。积极的感觉状态是通过增加运动感觉意象的使用来预测的。然而，外表健康意象作为一个抑制变量，增强了与振兴和宁静的关系的大小。此外，技术意象部分中介了积极参与的关系。最后，有调节的层次多元回归和简单的斜率分析表明，运动感觉意象与恢复活力之间的正相关关系仅在运动较少的参与者中显著。本研究提供了经验证据，表明意象和感觉状态之间的关系受到运动行为的调节，并表明意象干预对增强积极运动诱导的感觉状态可能对不爱运动的个体产生最显著的益处。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
