Brief Summary

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

Executive function is a high-level cognition which plays an important role in our life. Meta-analysis study has demonstrated that acute exercise could improve executive function. However, it is still unclear whether executive function can be enhanced by the concurrent exercise that combines aerobic and resistance exercise. Moreover, the sequence of concurrent exercise may result in different blood lactate concentration which may affect executive function. Therefore, the purposes of present study are: (1) Measuring the order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function. (2) Measuring whether order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function is mediated by blood lactate.

Detailed Description

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

Executive function is a high-level cognition which plays an important role in academic performance, career, and interpersonal relationship. Meta-analysis study has demonstrated that acute exercise could improve executive function, and also observed similar positive effect through both aerobic and resistance exercise. However, it is still unclear whether executive function can be enhanced by the concurrent exercise that combines aerobic and resistance exercise. Moreover, the sequence of concurrent exercise may result in different blood lactate concentration which may affect executive function. Therefore, the purposes of present study are: (1) Measuring the order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function. (2) Measuring whether order effect of acute concurrent exercise on executive function is mediated by blood lactate.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants were randomly assigned to three group, namely the resistance-aerobic exercise group (RA), the aerobic-resistance exercise group (AR), and the reading control group (RC). Participants in RA groups were asked to finish 5 min warm-up, 13 min resistance exercise, 12 min aerobic exercise, and 5 min cool down. Participants in AR groups were asked to finish 5 min warm-up, 12 min aerobic exercise, 13 min resistance exercise, and 5 min cool down. Participants in RC group were required to finish 35 min reading. All groups took a 30 min cognitive test before and after the intervention.The blood lactate were collected before, 17 minutes after, and after the intervention.
