Treatment and study plan

Exercise Type

Other

Aerobic exercise and Resistance exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. Behavioral performance

    Time frame: around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention

    reaction time of stroop and simon task following congruent and incongruent condition.

Secondary outcomes

  1. P3 component

    Time frame: around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention

    P3 of event-related potentials component, a larger P3 amplitude and shorter P3 latency means better performance

Other outcomes

  1. EEG

    Time frame: around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention

    Alpha power/ event-related desynchronization (ERD)
