Were submitted participants for two classes, based circuited model same intensity, but with different times (2 min and 1 min). The was carried out phases: baseline intervention. Affect, Arousal, Ratings Perceived Exertion data were analyzed using paired t-tests, considering significance level p < 0.05. class longer rest min) provided greater affection (t(45) = 3.586; 0,001) less perceived effort 2.295; 0,026). intensity manipulation strategy effective providing responses, which classes as more intense, resulting decline affect.
