Using a pre-post design, we investigated state anxiety and worry responses to a single Wingate, three weeks of sprint interval training (SIT), and, change in response to a single Wingate. Differences between males with and without elevated worry were explored. Thirty-eight young adult males, 18 with elevated worry (Penn State Worry Questionnaire [PSWQ] ≥45), completed a single 30s Wingate at 7.5% body mass before and after three weeks of SIT (nine sessions of 4–6 sprints). The state subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory assessed state anxiety; the PSWQ measured worry and worry engagement. A single Wingate increased state anxiety (d = -0.37, [-0.82, 0.09]) and decreased worry engagement (d = 0.16, [-0.29, 0.61]). SIT resulted in non-significant reductions in state anxiety (d = 0.20, [-0.25, 0.65]) and worry (d = 0.09, [-0.36, 0.54]). SIT non-significantly attenuated state anxiety response to a single Wingate (d = 0.23, [-0.22, 0.68]), approximating a 2.5-fold reduction from pre- (d = -0.37, [-0.82, 0.09]) to post-SIT (d = -0.16, [-0.61, 0.29]). Improvements in worry (d = 0.61, [-0.04, 1.26]) and worry engagement (d = 0.60, [-0.05, 1.25]) were moderately larger among males with elevated worry. Findings indicated that a single Wingate may acutely perturb state anxiety and improve worry. Three weeks of SIT may improve anxiety and worry and response to a single Wingate. Responses were moderately larger among males with elevated worry.

使用事前设计，我们调查了对单个Wingate，三周的冲刺间隔训练（SIT）以及对单个Wingate的响应的状态焦虑和忧虑反应。探索了有和没有忧虑的男性之间的差异。38名年轻男性，其中18名焦虑加剧（宾夕法尼亚州忧虑调查表[PSWQ]≥45），在SIT训练三周前后（9次4-6次冲刺）完成了一次30s Wingate，体重为7.5％。状态-特质焦虑量表的状态分量表评估了状态焦虑；PSWQ评估了忧虑和忧虑参与。单个Wingate会增加状态焦虑感（d = -0.37，[-0.82，0.09]）并减少忧虑参与（d = 0.16，[-0.29，0.61]）。SIT导致状态焦虑（d = 0.20，[-0.25，0.65]）和忧虑（d = 0.09，[-0.36，0.54]）无明显减少。d  = 0.23，[-0.22，0.68]），约为从SIT之前（d = -0.37，[-0.82，0.09]）到SIT后的2.5倍降低（d = -0.16，[-0.61，0.29]） ）。在忧虑 程度较高的男性中，忧虑（d  = 0.61，[-0.04，1.26]）和忧虑参与（d = 0.60，[-0.05，1.25]）的改善中等。研究结果表明，一个Wingate可能会严重扰乱状态焦虑并改善忧虑。三周的SIT可能会改善焦虑，忧虑和对单个Wingate的反应。在忧虑加剧的男性中，反应中等。
