While numerous researches addressed the connection between physical exercise, changes in brain cortical activity and its relationship to psycho-physiological processes, most of these neuro-scientific studies were set up for healthy individuals. However, the benefits of exercise, such as well being, physical and cognitive health enhancements are also becoming increasingly important for intellectually disabled individuals. This study aimed to localize electroencephalographic activity changes in intellectually disabled individuals following a moderate running exercise for 30 min. An increase in cognitive performance and in mood was hypothesized to correlate with a decrease in fronto-temporal brain areas following exercise. Significant changes in cortical current density in frontal brain areas as well as decreases in perceived physical energy could be shown. Overall motivational states (including self-confidence and social acceptance) as well as positive mood increased significantly. However, no changes could be observed for the cognitive tasks following exercise. With respect to the data provided here there is reason to believe, that a self-selected pace running exercise, enhances self-esteem, coincided with cortical activity changes in fronto-temporal brain areas.
虽然许多研究都探讨了体育锻炼、大脑皮质活动变化及其与心理生理过程的关系，但这些神经科学研究大多针对的是健康个体。然而，对于智障人士来说，运动的益处，如身心健康的提高，也变得越来越重要。本研究旨在定位智力障碍个体在进行 30 分钟适度跑步运动后的脑电图活动变化。假设认知表现和情绪的提高与运动后额颞脑区的减少相关。可以显示出额叶大脑区域皮质电流密度的显著变化，以及感知到的体力的减少。整体动机状态（包括自信和社会接纳）以及积极的情绪显著增加。然而，运动后认知任务没有观察到变化。根据这里提供的数据，有理由相信，自我选择的节奏跑步运动，增强了自尊心，与额颞脑区的皮质活动变化一致。
