Recent literature has demonstrated that acute physical activity benefits the transfer of executive functions. However, further studies indicated the type of variability in the effect of physical activity on executive functions. Therefore, this study initially explored the effect of a single bout of Chinese archery on subdomains of core EFs in preadolescent children; Method: Eligible participants were allocated either an intervention group ( = 36) or a control group ( = 36). The subjects in the intervention group received a 45-min Chinese archery session. The primary outcomes were the performance of core EFs (inhibition control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility) in preadolescent children, assessed with psychological paradigms (Fish Flanker Task, N-Back Task, and DCCS (Border version), respectively). Paired -test and ANCOVA were used to analyze the mean difference in the performance of core EFs within and between subjects, respectively; Results: Considering reaction time and accuracy, we explored the impressive performance in three cognitive tasks with acute Chinese archery; Conclusion: The finding suggests that a single bout of Chinese archery benefited three subdomains of core EFs in healthy preadolescent children.
最近的文献表明，急性身体活动有益于执行功能的转移。然而，进一步的研究表明，身体活动对执行功能的影响存在着不同的类型。因此，本研究最初探讨了单次中国射箭对青春期前儿童核心执行功能子领域的影响；方法：将符合条件的参与者分配到干预组（n=36）或对照组（n=36）。干预组的受试者接受了 45 分钟的中国射箭课程。主要结果是使用心理范式（Fish Flanker 任务、N-Back 任务和 DCCS（Border 版本））评估青春期前儿童核心执行功能（抑制控制、工作记忆和认知灵活性）的表现。配对 t 检验和协方差分析分别用于分析组内和组间核心执行功能表现的平均差异；结果：考虑到反应时间和准确性，我们探讨了急性中国射箭对三个认知任务的显著表现；结论：这一发现表明，单次中国射箭对健康青春期前儿童的核心执行功能的三个子领域都有益处。
