Recent studies have concluded that high-intensity interval training should be seen as a “viable alternative” to, and may be more enjoyable than, moderate-intensity continuous exercise. If true, these claims have the potential to revolutionize the science and practice of exercise, establishing high-intensity interval training as not only a physiologically effective exercise modality but also a potentially sustainable one. However, these claims stand in contrast to voluminous evidence according to which high levels of exercise intensity are typically experienced as less pleasant than moderate levels. To help researchers, peer reviewers, editors, and critical readers appreciate possible reasons for the apparently conflicting results, we present a checklist that identifies crucial methodological elements in studies investigating the effects of high-intensity interval training on affect and enjoyment. This second installment covers how “high-intensity” and “moderate-intensity” experimental conditions are defined, the timing of assessments of affect, the modeling of affective responses, and data interpretation.

最近的研究得出结论，高强度间歇训练应被视为中等强度连续运动的“可行替代方案”，并且可能比中等强度连续运动更令人愉快。如果属实，这些说法有可能彻底改变锻炼的科学和实践，将高强度间歇训练确立为不仅是一种生理上有效的锻炼方式，而且是一种潜在的可持续锻炼方式。然而，这些说法与大量证据形成鲜明对比，根据大量证据，高水平的运动强度通常比中等强度的运动更令人不愉快。为了帮助研究人员、同行评审员、编辑和挑剔的读者了解造成明显矛盾结果的可能原因，我们提出了一份清单，确定了调查高强度间歇训练对情感和享受的影响的研究中的关键方法要素。这第二部分涵盖了如何定义“高强度”和“中等强度”实验条件、情感评估的时间安排、情感反应的建模以及数据解释。
