Brief Summary

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

This study aims to examine the effects of different types of acute exercise on cognitive functions in healthy adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acute exercise, a single session of exercise, has been shown to enhance cognitive functions. The meta-analysis research has suggested that such benefits might depend upon the types of exercise. However, the predominant types of exercise examined within this area of research are aerobic and resistance exercises. The effects of other types of exercises on cognitive functions are poorly understood. Accordingly, this study is going to examine the effects of different types of acute exercise \[i.e., aerobic exercise (AE), aerobic exercise with virtual reality (AE-VR), and combined exercise (CE)\] on cognitive functions.

140-180 healthy young adults will be recruited and then randomly assigned to the AE, AE-VR, CE, and Control groups for a 35-minute intervention. Cardiovascular fitness will be assessed beforehand. Additionally, Stroop tasks and several questionnaires will be conducted before and after the intervention. The targeted primary outcomes are changes in cognitive behavior performance (assessed by the Stroop tasks) and neuroelectrical indices (e.g., P3 of event-related potential). The secondary outcomes are the changes in exercise enjoyment, motivation, and emotion.

Study Groups

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

aerobic exercise group (AE)

35-min cycling at moderate intensity (50-60% heart rate reserve).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

aerobic exercise group (AE)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The participants will ride the cycle ergometer for 35 minutes. The training consisted of a 5-minute warm-up period followed by 25 minutes of moderate exercise and a 5-minute recovery.

aerobic exercise with virtual reality group (AE-VR)

35-min cycling at moderate intensity (50-60% heart rate reserve) with 3D virtual reality.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

aerobic exercise with virtual reality group (AE-VR)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The participants will receive the 3D VR training program and ride the cycle ergometer at the same time. The training protocol is similar to the aerobic exercise group.

combined exercise group (CE)

This 35-min exercise combines aerobic, bodyweight exercise, and meditation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

combined exercise group (CE)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention consists of 5-minutes aerobic warm-up, 25-minutes bodyweight exercise, and 5-minutes mindfulness meditation for recovery. The participants will follow the video to do the program.

control group

It has a 35-minute video about exercise science.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will watch a 35-min video about exercise science.
