Effects of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Cognitive Aspects of Stroop Performance
- 2006
Psychology
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…
The Acute Effects of a Single Bout of Moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Functions in Healthy Adult Males.
- 2013
Medicine
Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR
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.

Psychology
Medicine and science in sports and exercise
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.
A Review of Cognitive Changes During Acute Aerobic Exercise

Frontiers in Psychology
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.

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
- 2018
Psychology
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.
