運動計畫是影響運動行為的決定因素之一，然而現階段的運動計畫多著重運動量的達成，尤其強調運動強度的效果，缺乏生心理整合的觀點，致使運動計畫不容易成功與持續，是以如能整體思考身體活動時的生心理特性，應可提昇研究的意義與價值。回顧文獻，自選運動強度範圍雖符合美國運動醫學會的建議，規律實施應能成就運動訓練效果，不過有參與者組內變異較大的事實。心理層面的研究，發現參與者在運動過程能有效展現正面情緒，推論自選運動強度或有助於提升運動參與及運動依附，然使用單題感覺量表所能反應的資料有限，如能改採健身運動情境專用的情緒量表，如「健身運動引起的感覺量表」或「主觀健身運動經驗量表」，應能更具體釐清由運動引發的生心理效益。

Exercise program is one of the determinants of exercise behaviors. However, the majority of present exercise programs primarily emphasize on the amount of physical activity, particularly the exercise intensity. The lack of integrative perspectives from physiological and psychological viewpoints results in the failures and non-adherence of exercise programs. If physiological and psychological characteristics could be taken into account simultaneously when considering physical activity, the improvement of meaning and values in research would be attained. From previous studies, it was shown that the selected intensities were generally within the limits recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine. However, the mean intensity exhibited large variability, so the individuals themselves might not select the moderate exercise intensities. On the psychological side, the findings suggested that the participants showed positive emotion when doing exercises, so it was inferred that self-selected exercise intensity might improve exercise participation and adherence. The information got from single-item feeling scale was limited, so future research should adopt exercise-specific emotion scales, like Exercise Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI) or Subject Exercise Experience Scale (SEES), to further identify the physiopsychological effects.
