The effects of aerobic exercise, humor, and music on  the state anxiety and affect of healthy women were investigated by using a  ‘within participants’ design. Twenty women were tested four times at weekly  intervals. They were exposed to four 20-minute treatments in a counterbalanced  order: 1) stationary cycling at 50% of their maximal heart rate reserve, 2)  watching a humorous video, 3) listening to new-age music, and 4) sitting  quietly. Participants’ state anxiety and affect were measured 5-minutes before  and 5-minutes after each treatment. Statistically significant decreases in state  anxiety were observed in all four conditions. Negative affect also decreased in  all but the sitting quietly (control) condition. The calculated effects sizes,  reflecting the meaningfulness of the intervention-induced changes, were highest  in response to humor session, followed by music and exercise. It is concluded,  therefore, that the immediate psychological benefits of humor and music are  comparable to the psychological benefits of a bout of aerobic  exercise.
