Study Overview

Brief Summary

A total of 90 healthy youngadults will be recruited and assigned into three groups. High IntensityInterval Training, Moderate Intensity Continuous Training, and a Control EducationalIntervention group. After obtaining informed consent, participants will undergobaseline assessments including anthropometric measures, a graded exercise test,and cognitive tests Computerized ModifiedStroop Task, The Digit Span Test, Word Recall Test. Participants in the HIITgroup will perform repeated short sprints with recovery periods, while the MICTgroup will engage in continuous moderate running. The control group willreceive weekly educational sessions on physical and cognitive health. Interventionswill continue for six weeks under supervision, with cognitive and physiologicalresponses monitored throughout.
