“…In our study, we used a uniform computerized battery to assess each cognitive domain separately. This battery, suggesting a classification of cognitive domains, has been used in quite a few studies in the past [48,49,50]. Consequently, attention in the present study was evaluated by means of a combination of choice RT measurements, while executive function was evaluated by a calculated formula that takes into account both accuracy and RT measures [39].…”

“…Consequently, attention in the present study was evaluated by means of a combination of choice RT measurements, while executive function was evaluated by a calculated formula that takes into account both accuracy and RT measures [39]. Previous studies using the Attention/ Executive function classification of the NeuroTrax found that long-term structural plastic changes in the brain were correlated with changes in executive function, among older adults, following an intervention of computerized cognitive training [48], that higher cardiovascular fitness of cardio-vascular disease patients was associated with higher scores in both attention and executive function [49], and that a single session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise facilitate response inhibition but not motor planning or eye-hand coordination, in middle-aged healthy active adults [50]. The fact that the separation of attention and executive function revealed different effects of acute exercise in the current study may support previous suggestions about the brain’s region-specific neuronal adaptations, which are induced by various types of interventions [51].…”

Evidence from recent studies showed that acute aerobic exercise results in improvements in different cognitive functions. The goal of this study was to assess the influence of acute bouts of aerobic versus resistance exercise on attention and executive function in adults. Thirty-nine physically active adults (age = 52±8 yr) served as participants. Each participant visited the laboratory four times: on the first visit participants performed a cognitive test (NeuroTrax) followed by an aerobic fitness assessment, as well as maximal strength test composed of six exercises. During visits 2–4, participants completed the cognitive test before and after the experimental condition, which consisted of either 25 min of aerobic exercise or resistance exercise, or watching a recorded interview show in a seated position (control condition). Findings indicated significantly higher changes in scores of attention after acute aerobic exercise (mean change 3.46, 95% CI -0.32, 7.27) than following the control condition (mean change -0.64, 95% CI -2.23, 0.96). The changes following resistance exercise (mean change -0.67, 95% CI -4.47, 3.13) were not significantly different from the changes following the control condition. Executive function scores showed a marginally significant improvement following acute aerobic (mean change 4.06, 95% CI 1.68, 6.44) and resistance exercise (mean change 3.69, 95% CI 0.78, 6.60), but not after control (mean change 0.91, 95% CI -1.21, 3.02). We suggest that adults should consider augmenting both modalities into their training routines, which may improve their cognition in addition to providing other physical benefits.

“…For example, they provide ample evidence of specific effects of acute aerobic exercise on executive function (EF) and attention. Acute aerobic exercise is a one-session intervention, which may involve 25 min of treadmill or cycle exercise at a target heart rate of 60% of the heart rate reserve (Bullock & Giesbrecht, 2014;Dunsky et al, 2017;Netz et al, 2016;Tine, 2014;Zimmer et al, 2016). Importantly, acute aerobic exercise differs from acute resistance exercise in the immediate acute physiological responses, as well as in the long-term physiological adaptations (Knuttgen, 2007).…”

“…“Go/NoGo” and “Stroop” test exercises are widely used for inducing cognitive fatigue ( Netz et al, 2016 ; Solianik et al, 2018 ). These and similar exercises usually last from 30 min to several hours and cause a decrease in mental working capacity ( Shigihara et al, 2013 ).…”

“…These and similar exercises usually last from 30 min to several hours and cause a decrease in mental working capacity ( Shigihara et al, 2013 ). It has been proven that the “Go/NoGo” task requires self-control skills, the main goal of which is to inhibit redundant tasks ( Brown et al, 2015 ; Netz et al, 2016 ).…”

Prefrontal Cortex Activity Predicts Mental Fatigue in Young and Elderly Men During a 2 h “Go/NoGo” Task

Background: Although the effects of mental fatigue on cognitive–motor function and psychological state in young adults are well-documented, its effects in the elderly are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of prolonged cognitive load on the indicators of psychological, cognitive, and motor functions.Methods: Fifteen young and 15 elderly men were asked to perform a 2 h “Go/NoGo” task. Psychological state (mood and motivation), cognitive (prefrontal cortex activity and cognitive performance), and motor (motor cortex excitability and grip strength) functions were measured before and after the task. During the 2 h task, both groups had a significantly similar increase in the number of “Incorrect NoGo” errors. Only in young men reaction time (RT) of “Incorrect NoGo” and intraindividual variability of RT of “Incorrect NoGo” significantly increased during task. After the task, handgrip strength decreased for the young men, whereas latency of motor evoked potentials prolonged both groups. Nevertheless, both groups indicated that they felt fatigue after the 2 h task; we observed that mental demand increased, whereas intrinsic motivation and mood decreased only in young men. Prolonged task decreased the switching/rest ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin for the young and the elderly men; however, greater for elderly than young men. Interestingly, the more the prefrontal cortex was activated before the 2 h task during the switching task, the fewer of “Incorrect NoGo” errors made by the young men and the greater the number of errors made by the elderly men.Conclusion: Because of the greater mental load and (possibly) greater activation of prefrontal cortex during the 2 h “Go/NoGo” task, there was greater mental and neuromuscular performance fatigue in young men than in elderly men.
