There is evidence for the physical health benefits of high intensity interval exercise (HIIE), but its public health potential has been challenged. It is purported that compared with moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) the high intensity nature of HIIE may lead to negative affective responses. This systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42017058203) addressed this proposition and synthesised research that compares affective responses to HIIE with MICE and vigorous intensity continuous exercise (VICE), during-, end-, and post-exercise. Searches were conducted on five databases, and findings from 33 studies were meta-analysed using random effects models or narratively synthesised. A meta-analysis of affect showed a significant effect in favour of MICE vs HIIE at the lowest point, during and post-exercise, but not at end, and the narrative synthesis supported this for other affective outcomes. Differences on affect between VICE vs HIIE were limited. Pooled data showed arousal levels were consistently higher during HIIE. For enjoyment there was a significant effect in favour of HIIE vs MICE, no difference for HIIE vs VICE at post-exercise, and mixed findings for during-exercise. Although the findings are clouded by methodological issues they indicate that compared to MICE, HIIE is experienced less positively but post-exercise is reported to be more enjoyable.

与连续中等和高强度运动相比，对急性高强度间歇运动的情感反应的系统评价和荟萃分析。

有证据表明高强度间歇运动 (HIIE) 对身体健康有益，但其公共卫生潜力已受到挑战。据称，与中等强度的持续运动 (MICE) 相比，HIIE 的高强度性质可能会导致负面的情感反应。这篇系统评价 (PROSPERO CRD42017058203) 提出了这一命题并综合研究，比较了 HIIE 与 MICE 和剧烈强度持续运动 (VICE) 在运动期间、运动结束和运动后的情感反应。对五个数据库进行了搜索，并使用随机效应模型或叙事综合对 33 项研究的结果进行了元分析。对影响的荟萃分析显示，在最低点、运动期间和运动后，但不是在结束时，MICE 与 HIIE 的显着影响，并且叙事综合支持其他情感结果。VICE 与 HIIE 之间的影响差异是有限的。汇总数据显示，在 HIIE 期间，唤醒水平始终较高。就享受而言，HIIE 与 MICE 的效果显着，运动后 HIIE 与 VICE 没有差异，运动期间的结果喜忧参半。尽管研究结果因方法论问题而蒙上阴影，但它们表明与 MICE 相比，HIIE 的体验不太积极，但据报道运动后更令人愉快。和运动期间的混合发现。尽管研究结果因方法论问题而蒙上阴影，但它们表明与 MICE 相比，HIIE 的体验不太积极，但据报道运动后更令人愉快。和运动期间的混合发现。尽管研究结果因方法论问题而蒙上阴影，但它们表明与 MICE 相比，HIIE 的体验不太积极，但据报道运动后更令人愉快。
