Moreover, it remains unknown whether pedal or treadmill desks elicit greater EE responses when users are given the option to self-select their own intensities (workloads

An alternative approach that could address individual and maturational differences in fatigue susceptibility during repeated sprints is to allow participants to self-select between-sprint recovery intervals. This approach has been applied in adult populations, with studies finding that

Studies have reported greater adherence to lower intensity exercise compared with greater attrition with higher intensity exercise, regardless of the exercise mode ( Martin & Sinden, 2001 ). Having supervision or guidance during exercise improves

Additionally, the active torque–angle relationship of the hip extensor muscles indicates that more torque can be generated at larger flexion angles. Therefore, we also hypothesized that, when maintaining an

Gibson et al ( 26 ) suggested that it would be beneficial for repeated sprint assessment in young soccer players to be based on sprint sequences with self-selected recovery periods in order to increasingly resemble the nonuniform patterns of recovery periods during

This study examined the patterning of acute affective responses to prescribed and self-selected exercise intensities in a young adolescent population. Twenty-two young adolescents (13.3 ± .33 years) completed a maximal exercise test to identify ventilatory threshold (VT). Participants then completed two prescribed intensities (one set above and one below the VT) and a self-selected intensity. Pre-, during, and postexercise affective valence was measured. Results revealed that during exercise, affective valence assessed by the Feeling Scale (FS) remained positive in the self-selected and low-intensity conditions but declined in the high-intensity condition. Postexercise FS responses rebounded to preexercise levels, eradicating divergent trends that occurred during exercise.

Context:
Rehabilitation specialists should understand cardiovascular responses to different movement patterns.
Objective:
To investigate physiological responses to forward- (FM), backward- (BM), and lateral-motion (LM) exercise at self-selected intensities.
Design:
Within-subjects design to test independent variable, movement pattern; repeated-measures ANOVA to analyze oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate (HR), respiratory-exchange ratio (RER), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE).
Participants:
10 healthy women.
Results:
VO2 and HR were significantly higher during LM than during FM and BM exercise. The respective VO2 (ml · kg · min–1) and HR (beats/min) values for each condition were FM 25.19 ± 3.6, 142 ± 11; BM 24.24 ± 2.7, 145 ± 12; and LM 30.5 ± 4.6, 160 ± 13. No differences were observed for RER or RPE.
Conclusions:
At self-selected intensities all 3 modes met criteria for maintaining cardiovascular fitness. Practitioners can use these results to develop rehabilitation programs based on clients’ perception and level of discomfort
