ABSTRACT:
Thoughts, feelings, and ratings of perceived exertion (RPe) during a 30-min run at 90 percent VO2max were examined in 11 well-trained male runners (M plus/minus SD VO2max = 70.48 plus/minus 3.52 ml. kg-1.min-1). RPE and Feeling Scale (FS) responses were collected during minutes 9, 19, and 30 (or immediately before stopping). Thoughts and feelings were sampled at the same times and at 5 and 14 minutes by asking the runner to verbally describe what he was thinking or feeling. Four of the 11 runners completed the 30-min run without stopping; average time for runners not completing the run was 21.5 plus/minus 2.99 min. Independent t-tests revealed no significant differences in VO2max, percent VO2max, Ve, or VO2 during the run for finishers and nonfinishers. HR during the run was significantly lower for finishers than nonfinishers. Results revealed no significant differences in experiential variables between finishers and nonfinishers. Psychologically, RPE at 19 min was significantly greater and FS responses significantly more negative for nonfinishers than finishers. In general, finishers reported more positive thoughts and feelings during the run than nonfinishers. Postrun structured interviews revealed that finishers reported an internal, associative attentional focus. Results of the study suggest that a relationship exists between thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of exertion and running performance.
