“…As for the influence of physical exercise on inhibition, many studies believe that physical exercise can improve the inhibition of individuals. Kao’s research has shown that just 20 min of aerobic exercise can improve the inhibition control of individuals [ 26 ]. Nouchi used the Stroop task to measure inhibition in middle-aged and older women.…”

Background: Different doses of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may affect individuals’ executive functions (EF). In this study, low-dose HIIT and moderate-dose HIIT were used to explore different doses of HIIT in terms of the impact on the EF of college students. Methods: All the participants were randomly divided into three groups. One group was not assigned any HIIT, which was called the control group. One group was assigned one session of HIIT/week, which was called the low-dose group. The last group was assigned wo sessions of HIIT/week, which was called the moderate-dose group. All groups were subjected to EF measurements. The first measurement comprised an EF a baseline measurement (Time 1) before the experiment began; the second measurement was taken (Time 2) after 6 weeks; the third measurement was taken (Time 3) after 12 weeks. Results: Time 1: We found that there was no significant difference in EF among the groups (p > 0.05). Time 2: The moderate-dose group and low-dose group improved in terms of EF. However, the improvement effect was different, and the improvement effect of the moderate-dose group EF was better than that of the low-dose group. The second measurement, EF was better for all exercise groups than for the control group. Inhibition test (reaction time: 3.97–8.24%, p < 0.05, effect size: 0.413); cognitive flexibility (accuracy: 6.66–7.32%, p < 0.05, effect size: 0.203; reaction time: 5.55–7.49%, p < 0.05, effect size: 0.521); working memory (accuracy: 4.05–4.69%, p < 0.05, effect size: 0.515; reaction time: 2.73–5.42%, p < 0.05, effect size: 0.430). Time 3: the moderate-dose group and low-dose group showed a downward trend in terms of EF. Conclusion: Low-dose HIIT and moderate-dose HIIT improved the EF in college students, but moderate-dose HIIT was better. This study suggests that moderate-dose HIIT should be adopted to improve the EF in college students.

“…In the step 2, changes in IC and aerobic capacity were not significantly predictive of changes in language, mathematics, and overall academic performance (Fs [2,69] < 2.81, ps > 0.07, R 2 s < 0.27, ∆R 2 s < 06). In the step 3, a significant model was found for language, mathematics, and overall academic performance (Fs [1,68] > 7.99, ps < 0.04, R 2 s > 0.27, ∆R 2 s > 0.21), with the interaction between changes in IC and aerobic capacity predicting language, mathematics, and overall academic performance (see Table 4).…”

Overweight children are at risk for the poorer physical health and cognitive abilities, especially inhibitory control, which reflects the ability to resist distractors and override prepotent responses. [1][2][3] During maturation, overweight children displayed impaired inhibitory control compared to their healthy weight peers. [4][5][6] Such an obesity-related impairment in inhibitory control can be manifested by poor performance during tasks requiring

The purpose of this study was to determine the (a) dose–response effects of cognitively engaging movement games (CEMGs) designed to improve aerobic capacity, interference control (IC), and academic performance, (b) relationship between intervention‐induced improvements in aerobic capacity, IC, and academic performance, and (c) moderation effect of IC on the relationship between aerobic capacity and academic performance in overweight children. Seventy‐five overweight children (aged 11.23 ± 0.60 years; 48% males) participated in this study conducted in Taipei during the 2018/2019 academic year and were randomly assigned to the low‐dose (20‐min) intervention, high‐dose (40‐min) intervention, and control groups and completed a Stroop test, half‐mile run, and language and mathematics tests before and after a 10‐week afterschool program. Both intervention groups showed similar improvements in outcomes of aerobic capacity (ds > 0.80), IC (ds > 0.76), and academic performance (ds > 0.90) from the pretest to posttest, whereas these outcomes were unchanged for the control group. Furthermore, improved IC moderated the association between improvements in aerobic capacity and academic performance. Our findings suggest that CEMG with varying doses is feasible and effective for improving aerobic capacity, IC, and academic performance in overweight children and that the association between improvements in aerobic capacity and academic performance depends on the intervention effects on IC.

“…A control condition of seated rest was expected to have either no effect or a negative effect on the neural responses to attended vs. unattended stimuli (i.e., relatively decreased/increased neural activations in response to attended/unattended stimuli after rest). While the majority of studies reveal no significant impact of a seated rest condition on cognitive measures, a subset of them does suggest potential detrimental effects 32 – 34 .…”

A single session of aerobic exercise has been shown to potentially benefit subsequent performance in a wide range of cognitive tasks, but the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of exercise on selective attention, a cognitive process that involves prioritized processing of a subset of available inputs over others. Twenty-four healthy participants (12 women) underwent two experimental interventions in a random, crossover, and counterbalanced design: a vigorous-intensity exercise (60–65% HRR) and a seated rest (control) condition. Before and after each protocol, participants performed a modified selective attention task that demanded attending stimuli of different spatial frequencies. Event-related magnetic fields were concurrently recorded using magnetoencephalography. The results showed that exercise, relative to the seated rest condition, reduced neural processing of unattended stimuli and increased processing of attended stimuli. The findings suggest that changes in neural processing related to selective attention may be one of the mechanisms underlying exercise-induced improvements in cognition.
