Brief Summary

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

This study explores the acute exercise effect on neurocognitive function and also its potential moderators in an exercise setting and Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genetic risk.

Detailed Description

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

Acute exercise has emerged as a modifier to multiple aspects of cognitive function; however, its effect on populations with different risks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the role of exercise variance and APOE genotype within the effect reminds underestimated. The current study aimed to examine the acute exercise effect on neurocognitive function from behavioral and neuroelectric perspectives among cognitively normal late-middle-aged adults. Additionally, we determined whether variations in exercise intensity and duration and the presence of the APOE ɛ4 allele modulated the effect.

Study Design

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

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

FACTORIAL

The present study adopted a counterbalanced design. All participants were instructed to complete four counterbalanced treatments: a) longer duration (LI-40), b) moderate-intensity with 30 min (MI-30), c) high-intensity with shorter duration (HI-16), and d) control treatments.

Study Groups

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

Low-intensity with longer duration (40-min) exercise (LI-40)

The participants were instructed to complete a volume-matched low-intensity with longer duration (40-min) exercise (LI-40) treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LI-40

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants were asked to complete a volume-matched light-intensity exercise for 30-min. The exercise volume was pre-determined based on the energy expenditure (kcal) calculated with 5-min warm-up stage, 20-min main exercise stage (i.e., moderate intensity as 50%-60 % heart rate reserve, HRR), and 5-min cool-down stage.

Moderate-intensity with 30 min exercise (MI-30)

The participants were instructed to complete a volume-matched moderate-intensity with 30 min exercise (MI-30) treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MI-30

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants were asked to complete a volume-matched moderate-intensity exercise for 20-min. The exercise volume was pre-determined based on the energy expenditure (kcal) calculated with 5-min warm-up stage, 20-min main exercise stage (i.e., moderate intensity as 50%-60 % heart rate reserve, HRR), and 5-min cool-down stage.

High-intensity with shorter duration (16-min) exercise (HI-16)

The participants were instructed to complete a volume-matched high-intensity with shorter duration (16-min) exercise (HI-16) treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HI-16

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants were asked to complete a volume-matched high-intensity exercise for 16-min. The exercise volume was pre-determined based on the energy expenditure (kcal) calculated with 5-min warm-up stage, 20-min main exercise stage (i.e., moderate intensity as 50%-60 % heart rate reserve, HRR), and 5-min cool-down stage.

Control treatment (CON)

The participants in the control treatment (CON) were instructed to complete book reading for 30-min.
