Data from: A randomized controlled trial of positive outcome expectancies during high-intensity interval training in inactive adults

Includes accelerometer data using an ActiGraph to assess usual sedentary, moderate, vigorous, and very vigorous activity at baseline, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks. Includes relative reinforcing value (RRV) data showing how participants rated how much they would want to perform both physical and sedentary activities on a scale of 1-10 at baseline, week 6, and week 10. Includes data on the breakpoint, or Pmax of the RRV, which was the last schedule of reinforcement (i.e. 4, 8, 16, …) completed for the behavior (exercise or sedentary). For both Pmax and RRV score, greater scores indicated a greater reinforcing value, with scores exceeding 1.0 indicating increased exercise reinforcement. Includes questionnaire data regarding preference and tolerance for exercise intensity using the Preference for and Tolerance of Intensity of Exercise Questionnaire (PRETIEQ) and positive and negative outcome expectancy of exercise using the outcome expectancy scale (OES). Includes data on height, weight, and BMI. Includes demographic data such as gender and race/ethnicity.
