7 R: F3 j) u2 T! V( G9 m$ uNumerous studies have examined the positive effects of exercise on improving mood. However, little research has been designed to investigate the effect of exercise on feelings of anger. A recent study presented at American College of Sports Medicine's 57th Annual Meeting in Baltimore discovered that exercise might have a beneficial affect on anger in men.

The subjects viewed anger-inducing scenes before and after 30 minutes of leg-cycling exercise at 65 percent of their maximal oxygen uptake. The investigators measured oscillatory brain activity, the event-related late-positive potential (LPP), and self-reports of anger intensity during picture viewing.

"In other words, exercise really is like medicine. However, exercise did not change EEG responses during elicitation of angry emotions in our subjects."

With this initial research as a backdrop, Thom and his team suggest that future studies explore the mechanisms underlying the effect of exercise on reducing angry mood, and should consider alternative anger-induction methods for study purposes.

The investigators also propose testing the effects of chronic exercise training on anger and its expression. A long-term exercise regimen may deliver different results.

运动有益于预防及降低愤怒情绪

众多研究已表明运动对改善情绪有积极的作用。然而，很少有研究探讨运动对愤怒的影响。最近在巴尔的摩举办的美国运动医学学院第57届年会报道的一项研究发现，运动可能对男性愤怒产生有益的影响。

研究小组对16名“高特质愤怒”男性受试者进行愤怒情绪及情感的评估。受试者以达到其65%最大耗氧量进行腿骑自行车运动，在运动前、后30分钟两次观看愤怒诱导场景。调查者在受试者观看愤怒诱导场景过程中测量三项指标，即波动性大脑活动、时间相关后期积极潜力(LPP)和愤怒强度自我报告。

在该项初步研究的背景下，Thom博士和他的团队建议未来的研究探索运动减少愤怒情绪的潜在机制，并应考虑将替代性愤怒诱导方法作为研究目的。
