“…Central fatigue pertains to situations in which the capacity of the central nervous system to activate motoneurons restricts the expression of strength (Dalsgaard & Secher, 2007 ) and its duration after exercise can vary depending on several factors but usually lasts between minutes and hours postexercise (Carroll et al., 2017 ). Although central fatigue correlates with EEG changes (e.g., increased alpha power) (Ghorbani & Clark, 2021 ) the present study's recordings were not during a fatigue stage, possibly explaining the negative results. Exercise‐induced changes in mood (Roeh et al., 2020 ; Schoenfeld & Swanson, 2021 ), linked to increased cortical excitation, are another significant factor.…”

IntroductionPrevious studies described various adaptive neuroplastic brain changes associated with physical activity (PA). EEG studies focused mostly on effects during or shortly after short bouts of exercise. This is the first study to investigate the capability of EEG to display PA‐induced long‐lasting plasticity in runners compared to a sedentary control group.MethodsThirty trained runners and 30 age‐ and sex‐matched sedentary controls (SC) were included as a subpopulation of the ReCaP (Running effects on Cognition and Plasticity) study. PA was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Resting‐state EEG of the runners was recorded in the tapering phase of the training for the Munich marathon 2017. Power spectrum analyses were conducted using standardized low‐resolution electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) and included the following frequency bands: delta: 1.5–6 Hz, theta: 6.5–8.0 Hz, alpha1: 8.5–10 Hz, alpha2: 10.5–12.0 Hz, beta1: 12.5–18.0 Hz, beta2: 18.5–21.0 Hz, beta3: 21.5–30.0 Hz, and total power (1.5–30 Hz).ResultsPA (IPAQ) and BMI differed significantly between the groups. The other included demographic parameters were comparable. Statistical nonparametric mapping showed no significant power differences in EEG between the groups.DiscussionHeterogeneity in study protocols, especially in time intervals between exercise cessation and EEG recordings and juxtaposition of acute exercise‐induced effects on EEG in previous studies, could be possible reasons for the differences in results. Future studies should record EEG at different time points after exercise cessation and in a broader spectrum of exercise intensities and forms to further explore the capability of EEG in displaying long‐term exercise‐induced plasticity.

“…While few studies investigated cortical activation during stationary cardiovascular exercise and majorly reported broadband changes in brain activity independent from frequency band and brain region (Ghorbani and Clark 2021 ; Robertson and Marino 2015 ), there is a lack of studies investigating the activation of the human brain during continuous open-skill exercise. Nevertheless, the variable environment in open-skill exercise may elicit continuous behavioral adaptations which require increased attentional demands (Wang et al 2013a ).…”

Continuous table tennis is associated with processing in frontal brain areas: an EEG approach

Coordinative challenging exercises in changing environments referred to as open-skill exercises seem to be beneficial on cognitive function. Although electroencephalographic research allows to investigate changes in cortical processing during movement, information about cortical dynamics during open-skill exercise is lacking. Therefore, the present study examines frontal brain activation during table tennis as an open-skill exercise compared to cycling exercise and a cognitive task. 21 healthy young adults conducted three blocks of table tennis, cycling and n-back task. Throughout the experiment, cortical activity was measured using 64-channel EEG system connected to a wireless amplifier. Cortical activity was analyzed calculating theta power (4–7.5 Hz) in frontocentral clusters revealed from independent component analysis. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to identify within subject differences between conditions (table tennis, cycling, n-back; p < .05). ANOVA revealed main-effects of condition on theta power in frontal (p < .01, ηp2 = 0.35) and frontocentral (p < .01, ηp2 = 0.39) brain areas. Post-hoc tests revealed increased theta power in table tennis compared to cycling in frontal brain areas (p < .05, d = 1.42). In frontocentral brain areas, theta power was significant higher in table tennis compared to cycling (p < .01, d = 1.03) and table tennis compared to the cognitive task (p < .01, d = 1.06). Increases in theta power during continuous table tennis may reflect the increased demands in perception and processing of environmental stimuli during open-skill exercise. This study provides important insights that support the beneficial effect of open-skill exercise on brain function and suggest that using open-skill exercise may serve as an intervention to induce activation of the frontal cortex.

“…It has been reported by several studies that EEG θ activity increases as the need for cognition and mental load does [ 31 , 32 ]. Many studies have also confirmed the presence of central fatigue-related changes in the θ band [ 33 , 34 ]. Furthermore, the slow-wave component of the brain increases after high-intensity exercise [ 35 , 36 ].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to detect differences in post-exercise brain activity between the left and right paddlers due to exercise by analyzing the resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum before and after exercise. Methods: Twenty-one right paddlers and twenty-two left paddlers completed a 1 km all-out test on a dragon boat ergometer, and their heart rate and exercise time were recorded. EEG signals were collected from superficial brain layers before and after exercise; then, the EEG power spectrum was extracted and compared in different frequency bands. In addition, the degree of lateralization in each brain region was assessed by the asymmetry index. Results: There was no significant difference in the power spectrum values and asymmetry indices between the left and right paddlers before rowing (p ˃ 0.05). However, after rowing, the left-paddlers group had significantly higher spectral power values in θ and α bands than the right-paddlers group (p < 0.05), and brain lateralization in both groups of athletes occurred mainly in the ipsilateral hemisphere of the frontal and central regions. Conclusion: The 1 km of rowing induced more brain activation in the left paddlers, and both left and right paddlers showed functional aggregation of hemispheric lateralization.
