Does Exercise Modality Matter Affectively? Contrasting Type and Sequence of Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training Versus High-Intensity Interval Training in a Randomized Within-Subject Study

Table 3. Associations of training type, period, and sequence with affective exercise determinants.

FIXED EFFECT	Model AA: AFFECTIVE ATTITUDE			Model IM: INTRINSIC MOTIVATION			Model AV: Affective Valence			MODEL EE: Exercise Enjoyment
FIXED EFFECT	B	SE	p	B	SE	p	B	SE	p	B	SE	p

Estimates based on fixed effects.* indicates a significant influence of training sequence on affective valence (p < .0125, Bonferroni-adjusted). In each of the four mixed models, we controlled for the baseline value of the respective dependent variable.
