Study of the emotional and affective states changes in one and two sessions of simulated soccer exercise

The aim of this study was study of the emotional and affective states changes in one and two sessions of simulated soccer exercise. For this purpose 10 volunteered males، who regularly were participated in exercise، performed simulated soccer training protocol. Self Assessment Manikin (SAM) scale with three subscales include Pleasure or Valence، Arousal and Dominance was measured before، after and every 15 minutes during 90-min training. Results showed that increasing the training time was associated with increased pleasure (F= 18. 46، P=0. 0001) and arousal (F= 25. 58، P=0. 0001) and decreased dominance (F= 21. 37، P=0. 0001). Also the second training session on the same day was accompanied with increased pleasure (F= 21. 06، P=0. 0001) and arousal (F= 10. 11، P=0. 001) and decreased dominance (F= 27. 33، P=0. 0001) decreasing. Results based on internal events of soccer play and circadian rhythm of body has been discussed
