简要总结
This study aims to compare the effects of upper and lower-extremity isometrics on cognition in healthy adolescents.
详细描述
The literature suggests a positive impact of isometrics on cognition. Identifying how cognitive results would differ in upper vs. lower extremity isometric groups is the main objective of the study. for cognitive assessment, different aspects of cognition will be measured by all computer-based tools (except for Trail making A and B).

结局指标
主要结局
Corsi Block Test
时间窗: After 8 weeks
The Corsi block test or "Corsi block-tapping test" is a Short-term working memory (STM) task conceptually like the digital span test. Its creator is Philip Michael Corsi. In this test experimenter shows nine blocks arranged in front of the participant, The blocks are tapped in a certain sequence and the participant must repeat the same sequence. The test is repeated a few times with different lengths of blocks. The conclusion is drawn by observing the block/ corsi span. The block span is the longest sequence a participant can repeat. A healthy person has a block span of 5- 7.
Free and delayed recall test
时间窗: After 8 weeks
Free and delayed recall are measures of episodic memory. A 15-item word list of highly frequent words will be used. At the outset, a "ready" cue will appear in the centre of the computer screen. On the computer screen, each word will be displayed individually for 3 seconds. After the 15th word, the participant will be given a 60-second to write down the words in any order. The Delayed Recall test will be used to evaluate long-term memory about 12 minutes later. During the delayed memory task, participants will be allowed 60 to recall as many words from the list shown before.
Go/ No Go task
时间窗: After 8 weeks
Go/ No Go task or stop signal task is a measure of executive functioning. This tool tests participant's ability to not respond thus measuring response inhibition and impulsivity. The participant is required to respond within 2 seconds when the screen says 'Go' and should resist responding when 'No' appears
Stroop test
时间窗: After 8 weeks
The Stroop colour-word test is considered one of the gold standards of attentional measures and is one of the most widely used instruments in clinical and experimental neuropsychological settings. In the Stroop-A test, the reader must note the colour rather than the word as soon as the word is highlighted. In the Stroop-B, the evaluator points to the columns of coloured words, and the subject reads what is written. To draw results Stroop effect is calculated by subtracting the reaction time of compatible trials from incompatible trials.
Trail making B
时间窗: After 8 weeks
The trail-making test is a cognitive tool used for the assessment of processing speed, attention, and cognitive flexibility. The test requires the person to draw lines in ascending order from 1-25 in the case of trail-making A. Trail-making A and B have numbers, as well as letters, joined in alternating sequences. The total score is calculated by subtracting the time taken for part A from the time taken to attempt part B in seconds. If the person cannot complete the test in 5 minutes the test is discontinued.
