简要总结
This study aims to examine the effects of different types of acute exercise on cognitive functions in healthy adults.
详细描述
Acute exercise, a single session of exercise, has been shown to enhance cognitive functions. The meta-analysis research has suggested that such benefits might depend upon the types of exercise. However, the predominant types of exercise examined within this area of research are aerobic and resistance exercises. The effects of other types of exercises on cognitive functions are poorly understood. Accordingly, this study is going to examine the effects of different types of acute exercise [i.e., aerobic exercise (AE), aerobic exercise with virtual reality (AE-VR), and combined exercise (CE)] on cognitive functions.
140-180 healthy young adults will be recruited and then randomly assigned to the AE, AE-VR, CE, and Control groups for a 35-minute intervention. Cardiovascular fitness will be assessed beforehand. Additionally, Stroop tasks and several questionnaires will be conducted before and after the intervention. The targeted primary outcomes are changes in cognitive behavior performance (assessed by the Stroop tasks) and neuroelectrical indices (e.g., P3 of event-related potential). The secondary outcomes are the changes in exercise enjoyment, motivation, and emotion.

结局指标
主要结局
Inhibition performance: Changes in Stroop test performance
时间窗: 30 minutes each at the pretest and posttest
The computerized Stroop test will be administrated to assess participants' cognitive functions, and their changes in reaction time and accuracy will be examined.
Changes in neuroelectrical activities
时间窗: 30 minutes each at the pretest and posttest
The neuroelectrical activities during the computerized cognitive tasks will be recorded. The changes in the event-related potential (e.g., P3) will be analyzed.
次要结局
- Changes in emotion(5-10 minutes each at the pretest and posttest)
- Changes in motivation(3-5 minutes each at the pretest and posttest)
- Changes in physical activity enjoyment(5-10 minutes each at the pretest and posttest)
