The Order Effect of Acute Concurrent Exercise on Executive Function: An Event-Related Potential Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 99 (actual)
• Sponsor: National Taiwan Normal University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 21 Years – 28 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Executive function is a high-level cognition which plays an important role in our life. Meta-analysis study has demonstrated that acute exercise could improve executive function. However, it is still unclear whether executive function can be enhanced by the concurrent exercise that combines aerobic and resistance exercise. Moreover, the sequence of concurrent exercise may result in different blood lactate concentration which may affect executive function. Therefore, the purposes of present study are: (1) Measuring the order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function. (2) Measuring whether order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function is mediated by blood lactate.

Detailed description

Executive function is a high-level cognition which plays an important role in academic performance, career, and interpersonal relationship. Meta-analysis study has demonstrated that acute exercise could improve executive function, and also observed similar positive effect through both aerobic and resistance exercise. However, it is still unclear whether executive function can be enhanced by the concurrent exercise that combines aerobic and resistance exercise. Moreover, the sequence of concurrent exercise may result in different blood lactate concentration which may affect executive function. Therefore, the purposes of present study are: (1) Measuring the order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function. (2) Measuring whether order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function is mediated by blood lactate.
