“…Finally, the effect of exercise on cognitive performance varies according to the participant's expertise in decision-making sports McMorris and Graydon, 1996). It has been reported that sports that require decisions to be made under high energy expenditure may enhance the performance of experts in choice reaction time tasks during physical exercise more than that of non-experts.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the facilitating effects of moderate physical exercise on the reaction process to gain a better understanding of the interaction between physiological and cognitive processes. Sixteen participants with specific expertise in decision-making sports performed a double task consisting of choice reaction time while cycling. Signal quality, stimulus-response compatibility and time uncertainty were manipulated. Participants were tested at rest and while cycling at 20% and at 50% of their maximal aerobic power. A mood assessment questionnaire and a critical flicker fusion test were administered before and after the choice reaction time task. The results showed that moderate-intensity exercise (50% maximal aerobic power) improves cognitive performance and that low-intensity exercise (20% maximal aerobic power) enables participants to compensate the negative dual-task effect.

“…The role of exercise on adult cognition has been extensively researched (for reviews see Lambourne & Tomporowski, 2010;Tomporowski, 2003), with cognitive performance assessed during exercise (McMorris & Graydon, 1996), following acute exercise (Coles & Tomporowski, 2008;Hopkins, Davis, & Vantieghem, 2012;Tomporowski, et al, 2005), and following long-term exercise exposure (e.g. Castelli, Hillman, Buck & Erwin, 2007;Hopkins et al, 2012).…”

The present study examined the effects of differing intensity levels of acute exercise on preadolescent academic ability. In a repeated measures design, 18 preadolescent participants (mean age ± S.D. = 9.8 ± 1.4years: 9 male and 9 female) completed the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT 4) following 20 -minutes of rest, 20-minutes on a cycling ergometer at 50% maximal heart rate reserve (HRR), and 20-minutes on a cycling ergometer at 75% HRR on separate days. Exercise was found to improve spelling irrespective of intensity level. Moderate levels of exercise improved reading although the effect of high levels of intensity is less clear. Both intensity levels impaired arithmetic, whilst sentence comprehension was unaffected. These findings further support the past research that indicates acute bouts of exercise can selectively improve cognition in pre-adolescent children.However, the present study finds no support for the notion that increasing the intensity of exercise accentuates benefits.

[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] This question appears to be unresolved at present.…”

“…Some previous studies have reported on measurements of learning or cognition tasks after exercise in humans, but the results are contradictory. Some investigators have found ability to be unaffected, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] others that it is facilitated by physical fatigue, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and yet others have found impairment. [32][33][34][35][36][37] Because of the complex psychological factors present in the human experiments, evaluation of behavioral changes related to physical exhaustion in animal experiments may be a better way to gain insight into the question.…”
