An Experimental Verification of the Influence of Transient Exercise on the Mood in People with Sensory Sensitivity

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transient exercise on the mood in people with sensory sensitivity. The participants were 23 university students. They were randomly assigned into two groups and were required to participate in a rope-jumping exercise for 10 min. The results showed that the relaxed mood of participants with low sensory thresholds significantly decreased and was lower than that of participants with standard sensory thresholds, and their pleasurable mood was stabilized. These results suggest that people need to select adequately intense exercises or alternative interventions depending on their level of sensitivity.
