There is evidence that an acute bout of exercise confers cognitive benefits, but it is largely unknown what the optimal mode and duration of exercise is and how cognitive performance changes over time after exercise. We compared the cognitive performance of 31 older adults using the Stroop test before, immediately after, and at 30 and 60 min after a 10 and 30 min aerobic or resistance exercise session. Heart rate and feelings of arousal were also measured before, during, and after exercise. We found that, independent of mode or duration of exercise, the participants improved in the Stroop Inhibition task immediately postexercise. We did not find that exercise influenced the performance of the Stroop Color or Stroop Word Interference tasks. Our findings suggest that an acute bout of exercise can improve cognitive performance and, in particular, the more complex executive functioning of older adults.
有证据表明，一次急性运动能带来认知益处，但运动的最佳方式和时长以及运动后认知表现如何随时间变化在很大程度上尚不清楚。我们使用斯特鲁普测试，比较了31名老年人在进行10分钟和30分钟有氧或阻力运动前、运动后即刻、运动后30分钟和60分钟时的认知表现。还在运动前、运动中和运动后测量了心率和唤醒感。我们发现，无论运动方式或时长如何，参与者在运动后即刻的斯特鲁普抑制任务中表现有所改善。我们未发现运动对斯特鲁普颜色或斯特鲁普单词干扰任务的表现有影响。我们的研究结果表明，一次急性运动可以改善认知表现，尤其是老年人更复杂的执行功能。
