| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Various mental processes are involved in the execution of exercise and sports. In particular, we experience changes in emotions due to cognitive evaluation of the upcoming event experienced prior to making a decision. The physiological responses (somatic markers) caused by these emotions affect motivation for decision-making and behavioral selection. We decided to examine physiological responses in terms of autonomic nervous system activity, and attention indicators in cardiovascular system activity. Assuming exercise requiring sustained attention, we conducted various experimental studies with the aim of elucidating the relationship between changes in arousal levels and pleasant emotions and performance. We hypothesized that "optimally aroused somatic markers induce positive emotions, which increase motivation and lead to successful performance," and we comprehensively explored behavior from the perspectives of the three systems of cognition, emotion, and physiology.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
人は何かの目前のイベントとに対して「楽しさ（enjyoiment)」を覚えると，その感情が事後までも持続し，また行いたいという情動が生じる．運動習慣者の割合が減少している昨今において，楽しみや興奮などの快感情およびその機序をモニターすることは，運動習慣が定着していない運動非実践者の運動を始めるきっかけを与えらえる客観的な方策として貢献しうると考える．
特に，持続的な注意課題や持久力を要するような30分以上の長時間の活動時に，挑戦，覚醒，集中，興奮などによって覚醒水準が上昇すること，また仲間と関係性を持つという欲求が生じることで，パフォーマンスの向上がみられることが明らかとなった．
