Background: Acute exercise at self-selected intensity is shown to improve well-being, vigour,
mood and calmness in people with mental illness, while reducing arousal depression
and weakness. Affective valance (pleasant/unpleasant feelings) during exercise is
shown to predict long-term exercise adherence in healthy populations and is associated
with ratings of perceived exertion following self-selected exercise in people with
mental illness. Additionally, affective responses to self-selected exercise differ
between mental illnesses. In healthy populations, affective responses differ between
overweight and healthy-weight individuals. Given the prevalence of overweight and
obesity in people with mental illness, it is important to understand how weight status
may impact affective responses to exercise, and subsequent exercise prescription.
