: Evidence supports that a single session of exercise has benefits for cognitive performance following exercise. Although the vast majority of research has been conducted with young adults, very few studies to date have tested these effects in adolescents (high school aged students). As executive function (EF) develops through late adolescence and into young adulthood, it is important to assess the extent to which acute exercise benefits EF in adolescents. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the effect of moderate-intensity acute exercise on subsequent EF performance in this population. : Healthy high school students (N = 22; age: 15.90 [0.29] y) volunteered to participate in the study. Using a within-subjects design with order of conditions randomized and counterbalanced, participants performed the Stroop Test, the Symbol Digit Modalities Test, and the Tower of London Test following control and following exercise with sessions performed on different days. : Exercise resulted in significant benefits for Stroop Color, Stroop Color-Word tests, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Tower of London total moves, and Tower of London total excess moves. : These results provide an important extension to the literature by confirming that 20 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise benefits EF performance in high school students.
有证据表明，单次运动对运动后的认知表现有益。尽管绝大多数研究都是针对年轻人进行的，但迄今为止，很少有研究在青少年（高中生）中测试这些效果。由于执行功能（EF）在青少年晚期和成年早期发展，因此评估急性运动对青少年 EF 的益处程度非常重要。本研究的主要目的是评估中等强度急性运动对该人群随后 EF 表现的影响。
健康的高中生（N=22；年龄：15.90[0.29]岁）自愿参加研究。使用具有随机和平衡条件顺序的被试内设计，参与者在控制和运动后分别进行 Stroop 测试、符号数字模态测试和伦敦塔测试，运动和测试在不同的日子进行。
运动对 Stroop 颜色、Stroop 颜色-单词测试、符号数字模态测试、伦敦塔总移动数和伦敦塔总额外移动数都有显著的益处。
这些结果通过确认 20 分钟的中等强度运动有益于高中生的 EF 表现，为文献提供了重要的扩展。
