Timed consumption of blackcurrant juice (BJ) modulates affective responses during a moderate walking exercise. Affective responses for perceived exertion [a] and feeling/mood [b] by participants who had either consumed placebo (PLA, open circles) or BJ drink (filled circles) 1 h prior to performing a low impact exercise were assessed visual analogue scale [VAS] sheets at 3 or 5 mins intervals. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 20 individuals per group. *p < 0.05 represents statistical difference from PLA at corresponding walking time
