Acute aerobic exercise was shown to enhance such cognitive functions as executive function (EF) and attention. Acute resistance exercise was also shown to enhance cognitive functions, however, only few studies directly compared these two exercise modalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of a typical moderate intensity resistance exercise session as compared to a typical moderate intensity aerobic session, on executive function and attention. A counterbalanced repeated measures experimental design was applied. Forty physical education students (21 women; 19 men, age = 25.7±2.84 years) were tested before and after three sessions: aerobic, resistance, and control. Each session consisted of 30 minutes of exercise or a rest. Executive function and attention were assessed by components of the computerized Stroop Catch game and Go-NoGo cognitive tests. A two-way ANOVA showed a greater increase in attention scores after the resistance sessions ( < .05) compared to the control condition. Attention scores in the aerobic sessions showed a trend toward improvement but did not reach statistical significance. Scores of EF significantly increased, both after the resistance session and the aerobic session ( < .05), but not after rest in the control condition. Our findings show that an acute session of resistance exercise increased both Attention and EF test scores, while an aerobic exercise session improved only the EF scores.
急性有氧运动已被证明可增强诸如执行功能（EF）和注意力等认知功能。急性抗阻运动也被证明能增强认知功能，然而，只有少数研究直接比较了这两种运动方式。本研究的目的是评估与典型的中等强度有氧运动相比，典型的中等强度抗阻运动对执行功能和注意力的急性影响。采用了平衡重复测量实验设计。对40名体育专业学生（21名女性；19名男性，年龄 = 25.7±2.84岁）在三个阶段前后进行了测试：有氧运动、抗阻运动和对照。每个阶段包括30分钟的运动或休息。通过计算机化斯特鲁普捕捉游戏和Go-NoGo认知测试的组件来评估执行功能和注意力。双向方差分析显示，与对照条件相比，抗阻运动阶段后注意力得分有更大的提高（<.05）。有氧运动阶段的注意力得分有改善趋势，但未达到统计学显著性。在抗阻运动阶段和有氧运动阶段后，EF得分均显著提高（<.05），但在对照条件下休息后未提高。我们的研究结果表明，一次急性抗阻运动增加了注意力和EF测试得分，而一次有氧运动只提高了EF得分。
