Research on the Emotion Regulation Effect of Home Sports Based on Social Media Data Analysis and Online Experimental Investigation

Abstract

Effective in preventing the spread of Covid-19 though, a long period of home quarantine would also impose a negative impact on the public emotion. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the emotional regulation effect of home exercises. The social media data during Wuhan’s lockdown was used to analysis the emotional orientation of the masses. This thesis has conducted data on the subjective emotional status of subjects before and after home exercise from an one-week online experiment, when the regulating effect on emotion from various types of home exercise was quantitatively evaluated in accordance with different emotional weights. The experimental results showed that generally home exercise imposed a positive impact on the regulation of emotion during the epidemic period, while different exercise forms saw their impacts varying. Based on the results and analysis, we suggest that people should embark on the exercise of the second maximum intensity/duration within 10 to 60 minutes/moderate energy consumption for emotion regulation. The experimental results of this study have shown a significance for picking up proper home exercise forms during the epidemic period, as well as the practice of intelligent exercise during home quarantine in the future.
