• Replicated commonly reported findings:

  • absence of significant changes in SAI after 20 min of exercise
  • significant increase immediately after vigorous exercise, followed by significant reduction by 10th min of recovery

• Exercise-associated drops in internal consistency

• Divergent item responses

• Evidence of multidimensionality

• Evidence of invalidity

  • inability to account for positively valenced activation; confound of activation with anxiety; increases in SAI in the absence of anxiety-related appraisals
