研究概览
简要总结
This study was conducted to understand how short-term aerobic exercise affects mood and stress in university students. The research focused on healthy male and female students between the ages of 18 and 25. Participants were asked to complete two questionnaires: one to measure their mood and another to assess their stress levels. These questionnaires were filled out before, immediately after, and at several intervals up to 24 hours after a single session of aerobic exercise.The goal was to see whether exercise could quickly improve mood and reduce stress, and how long these effects might last. The study was carefully designed, and ethically approved. By focusing on immediate and short-term changes, the research highlights the potential benefits of exercise for mental well-being in young adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Improvement in Total Mood Disturbance Following Short-Term Aerobic Exercise in University Students
时间窗: TMD is assessed at eight time points: Before exercise (T0) Immediately after exercise (T1) At intervals: 1 hour (T2), 2 hours (T3), 4 hours (T4), 8 hours (T5), 12 hours (T6), and 24 hours post-exercise (T7).
Total Mood Disturbance (TMD): Measured using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to a maximum depending on the number of items (65 items rated on a 0-4 Likert scale, resulting in a theoretical range of 0 to 260). A higher TMD score represents a worse overall mood outcome.
Perceived Stress Levels Following Short-Term Aerobic Exercise in University Students
时间窗: Assessed at two time points: Before exercise (T0) 24 hours after exercise (T7).
Perceived Stress Levels: Measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Scores range from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress. Scores can be categorized as: Low stress: 0-13 Moderate stress: 14-26 High stress: 27-40
