Abstract
28 college age students participating in a weight lifting class exhibi ted significant decreases in negative affect and increases in positive affect. Changes in affect were correlated with average exercise heart rates. Higher heart tales were correlated with reductions in negative affect and increases in positive affect. Correlations of .37 and .40 suggest that, in accordance with earlier studies, exercise intensity m ay be indirectly related to exercise.
