“…These studies have consistently indicated that retrieval performance improved when learning or when the encoding phase was performed after acute aerobic exercise (Etnier, Labban, Piepmeier, Davis, & Henning, 2014;Labban & Etnier, 2011;Pesce, Crova, Cereatti, Casella, & Bellucci, 2009;Salas, Minakata, & Kelemen, 2011;Winter et al, 2007), suggesting the beneficial effects of acute exercise on hippocampal functioning. The positive effects of acute exercise on memory have been validated by several meta-analyses (Chang, Labban, Gapin, & Etnier, 2012;Lambourne & Tomporowski, 2010;Roig, Nordbrandt, Geertsen, & Nielsen, 2013). Based on these findings, it has been proposed that, for example, physically active academic lessons, in which exercise and learning activities are simultaneously conducted (Donnelly & Lambourne, 2011;Mullender-Wijnsma et al, 2015), might increase both physical activity level and learning efficiency.…”
