Effects of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Cognitive Aspects of Stroop Performance

Recent reviews of the literature have demonstrated that exercise has a positive impact on cognitive performance. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of an acute bout of aerobic…

Acute exercise and cognitive function: Emerging research issues

The Acute Effects of a Single Bout of Moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Functions in Healthy Adult Males.

A single bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise for as less as 30 minutes can improve some aspects of cognition, most prominently for memory, reasoning and planning and can shorten the time taken to complete the tests.

Differential Effects of Acute Exercise on Distinct Aspects of Executive Function.

Examination of whether a single bout of aerobic exercise exerts differential effects on distinct aspects of executive function in healthy young adults indicates that working memory performance on the 2-back condition of a facial n-back task was acutely enhanced by moderate-intensity exercise, leading to the prediction that brain mechanisms related to working memory, compared to inhibitory control, are selectively benefited bymoderate- intensity exercise.

The effect of acute physical exercise on cognitive function during development

A Review of Cognitive Changes During Acute Aerobic Exercise

It is explored how inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility are individually impacted by factors such as exercise intensity or duration, as well as factors to consider when assessing exercise-cognition relationships.

The effect of an acute bout of physical activity on specific cognitive processes

by KATHRYN M. BEASMAN (Under the Direction of Phillip D. Tomporowski) ABSTRACT The current study was designed to assess the effects of an acute bout of physical activity on specific cognitive…

Effects of acute exercise on executive function: a study with a Tower of London Task.

Results indicated that the exercise group achieved improvements in TOL Task scores reflecting the quality of planning and problem solving, but not in those reflecting rule adherence and performance speed.

Effect of Acute Intermittent Exercise on Cognitive Flexibility: the Role of Exercise Intensity

It is demonstrated that both moderate and high exercise intensity enhance cognitive performance during and following IE, and the greater perceived exertion and lower parasympathetic activity during exercise at 95% PPO could be responsible for the smaller improvement on reaction time, when compared to exercise at 60% P PO.

The effects of an acute bout of moderate intensity exercise on cognitive performance

"The purpose of this study was to provide a real-world test of the relationship between the performance of an acute bout of moderate physical activity (walking) during the lunch hour and subsequent…

Selective Effects of Physical Exercise on Choice Reaction Processes

It is reasonably supported that moderate aerobic exercise showed selective rather than general influences on information processing, and underadditive interaction between Time Uncertainty and exercise was found for the highest quartiles of the distribution of reaction times.

The immediate effects of strenuous exercise on free-recall memory.

A free-recall memory task was used to assess the after-effects of strenuous exercise on the cognitive functioning of young adults and there were no differences in the serial position effect between the two groups.

Cognitive Performance after Strenuous Physical Exercise

Performance on the most complex task, the Interference subtest of the Stroop, was especially improved after exercise, and the expectancy of the subjects of a potential positive effect of exercise was thought to have been responsible.
