Values are mean ± standard deviation (SD). B1, baseline; B2, second baseline; B3, third baseline, AE1, first aerobic exercise; AN1, first anaerobic exercise; AE2; second aerobic exercise; AN2, second anaerobic exercise; R1, recovery. RPE, rating of perceived exertion; TS, thermal sensation; Interference, interference score of Stroop color word test; TMD, total mood disturbance (higher score indicates poor mood state). a p ≤ 0.05 versus B1 at each condition, b p ≤ 0.05 versus B2 at each condition, c p ≤ 0.05 versus B3 at each condition, * p ≤ 0.05 versus neutral condition; -, Not applicable.
