Abstract Details

2011, MS, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Health Sciences.
The purpose of this study was to determine if, relative to an alone condition, exercising with a training partner affects average running speed, perceived exertion, and liking of the exercise during a self paced 30-minute training run in highly trained collegiate distance runners. We predicted that the presence of another runner would increase average running speed and liking of the run. Fourteen healthy male competitive distance runners, age 18-24, completed two running sessions under two different conditions (alone, with a peer). Heart rate, perceived exertion, distance ran, and liking of the run were recorded in each trial. There were no significant effects (p ≥ .68) of social condition for any of the dependent variables . Contrary to our hypothesis, the presence of another runner did not have a significant effect on exercise intensity, perceived exertion, or liking during a 30-minute treadmill run in this group of individuals.
