Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigated the effect of acute multiple joint, structural barbell resistance exercise on information processing speed and conflict-related neural activity in older adults via a crossover, sham control, randomized control trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Resistance exercise

The experimental intervention is a session of resistance exercise described in the intervention section.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Barbell back squat, press, and deadlift for three sets of five repetitions with the weight closest to 75% of their estimated 1 repetition max. The participants were instructed to execute the movement with moderate speed (2s eccentric, 2s concentric, no pause in between). The rest period between sets and exercise movements was two to three minutes.

Stretching exercise

The active control intervention is a session of stretching exercise described in the intervention section.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Stretching exercise (sham exercise)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants completed a passive stretching exercise session for a similar duration of time as the resistance exercise (≈ 30 min) as sham intervention, which included 15-20 stretching movements twice, holding each for 30 seconds as recommended by ACSM.
