  text: <jats:p>The aim of the present study is to prove the construct validity of
    the German versions of the Feeling Scale (FS) and the Felt Arousal Scale (FAS)
    for a progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercise. A total of 228 sport science
    students conducted the PMR exercise for 45 min and completed the FS, the FAS,
    and the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) in a pre-test–post-test design. A significant
    decrease in arousal (t(227) = 8.296, p &lt; 0.001) and a significant increase
    in pleasure (t(227) = 4.748, p &lt; 0.001) were observed. For convergent validity,
    the correlations between the FS and the subscale SAM-P for the valence dimension
    (r = 0.67, p &lt; 0.001) and between the FAS and the subscale SAM-A for the arousal
    dimension (r = 0.31, p &lt; 0.001) were significant. For discriminant validity,
    the correlations between different constructs (FS and SAM-A, FAS and SAM-P) were
    not significant, whereas the discriminant analysis between the FS and the FAS
    revealed a negative significant correlation (r = −0.15, p &lt; 0.001). Together,
    the pattern of results confirms the use of the German versions of the FS and the
    FAS to measure the affective response for a PMR exercise.</jats:p>
