Summary

Studies have shown that an acute bout of aerobic exercise positively effects cognition, mainly executive functioning; however the effect is not observed among all people and it is not clear whether only aerobic exercise can produce this effect or possibly also resistant exercise. The main purpose of our study is to examine whether genetic variation is a moderator of this effect and whether resistant exercise is comparable to aerobic exercise in improving cognition following a single bout of exercise.

Conditions

• Executive Function

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Cognitive function after exercise test	The individual subjects will participate in 3 sessions of either aerobic exercise, resistance exercise or rest, in a random order. Before and after each session, the subject will take computerized cognitive tests.
GENETIC	Blood sample analysis	In the first evaluation session blood samples will be taken from each subject and will be analysed for genetic polymorphism.
