Summary

The current study is a five-arm, single bout program aiming to assess the effects of training volume and intensity of acute resistance exercise on inhibitory control on neurocognitive function with respect to event-related potential in adults aged 20 - 26 years.

Detailed description

The current study is expected that 175 healthy adults will be recruited and randomly assigned to control group, low volume-moderate intensity, moderate volume-moderate intensity, high volume-moderate intensity, or moderate volume-low intensity group, with 35 participants in each group. Participants will be required to conduct two experiments. The first was the familiarity experiment, which consisted of the experiment description, the familiarity test, and the 6 Repetition Maximum (RM) test. The process lasted about 3 hours. The exercise group was given a warm-up exercise before the intervention, followed by resistance exercise, including Bench Press, Rowing, Deadlift, and Squat, all completed on the Smith machine. After the exercise, the group was given a cool down, while the control group was given 30 minutes of reading. Before and after the intervention, Stroop, event-related potential and fingertip blood lactate were measured, and another fingertip blood lactate was measured 10 minutes after the intervention, which lasted about 3 hours.
