Summary
This study investigated the effect of acute multiple joint, structural barbell resistance exercise on information processing speed and conflict-related neural activity in older adults via a crossover, sham control, randomized control trial.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Resistance exercise | Barbell back squat, press, and deadlift for three sets of five repetitions with the weight closest to 75% of their estimated 1 repetition max. The participants were instructed to execute the movement with moderate speed (2s eccentric, 2s concentric, no pause in between). The rest period between sets and exercise movements was two to three minutes. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Stretching exercise (sham exercise) | Participants completed a passive stretching exercise session for a similar duration of time as the resistance exercise (≈ 30 min) as sham intervention, which included 15-20 stretching movements twice, holding each for 30 seconds as recommended by ACSM. |
