简要总结
We are comparing higher cerebral functions including cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory in healthy young adults between a group of acute aerobic exercise and a control group.
详细描述
The objective of this study is to compare cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, and working memory in healthy young adults between two groups: a group undergoing acute aerobic exercise and a control group.
Methodology:
Study Design: A Randomized Controlled Trial Study Setting: The Physiology Laboratory at Khyber Medical College, Peshawar Study Duration: The study will last for three months. Sample Size: The study will include 19 participants in each group - the Exercising group (E-Group) and the Control group (C-Group).
Healthy young people between 18-25 years who are non-smokers will be included. Sampling: The enrollment in the Randomised Control Trial will be conveniently based, wherein all those who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled as per study numbers. A lottery method will be adopted for randomization.

研究组 & 干预措施
Exercising Group
The exercising group shall have pre-intervention assessment of executive brain functions vide Stroop test, Trail making test & N-Back task/2-Back by using online psytoolkit followed by intervention.
The intervention for the group being acute aerobic exercise, which will comprise of 30 minutes of treadmill walking at 60-65% of Heart Rate max with continuous recording of heart rate and ECG via Biopac MP36 Student Lab system.
This will be followed by post-intervention assessment of executive brain functions vide Stroop test, Trail making test & N-Back task/2-Back by using online psytoolkit.
干预措施: Aerobic exercise (Behavioral)
Control Group
The control group will also have pre-intervention assessment of executive brain functions vide Stroop test, Trail making test & N-Back task/2-Back by using online psytoolkit.
The control group will undergo NO EXERCISE intervention. They will sit idly in laboratory for 30 minutes with continuous recording of heart rate and ECG via Biopac system.
The executive brain functions of the control group will be re-assessed vide Stroop test, Trail making test & N-Back task/2-Back by using online psytoolkit.
干预措施: None (control group) (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in performance of "N-Back task/2-Back task " before & after an acute session of aerobic exercise.
时间窗: Change in the number of false alarms 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after an acute session of aerobic exercise will be recorded
"N-Back task/2-Back task" test will be used to assess the working memory aspect of "executive brain functions". The number of false alarms on the test will be measured.
Change in performance of Stroop Test before & after an acute session of aerobic exercise
时间窗: Change in the reaction time of stroop test 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after aerobic exercise will be recorded
Stroop test will be used to assess cognitive flexibility aspect of "executive brain functions". The reaction time in milliseconds to identify the congruent and incongruent words in the stroop test will be measured.
Change in performance of "Stop Signal Task Test" before & after an acute session of aerobic exercise.
时间窗: Change in status of the response 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after aerobic exercise will be recorded
"Stop signal task" test will be used to assess the inhibitory control aspect of "executive brain functions". Status of the response(1=correct, 2=wrong, 3=timeout) will be measured in the test.
Change in performance of "Stop Signal Task Test" before & after an acute session of aerobic exercise.
时间窗: Change in the response time 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after aerobic exercise will be recorded
"Stop signal task" test will be used to assess the inhibitory control aspect of "executive brain functions". The response time in milliseconds will be measured in the test.
Change in performance of "N-Back task/2-Back task " before & after an acute session of aerobic exercise.
时间窗: Change in reaction time 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after an acute session of aerobic exercise will be recorded
"N-Back task/2-Back task" test will be used to assess the working memory aspect of "executive brain functions". The reaction time taken in milliseconds to correctly match target letters in the test will be measured.
