Acute exercise is linked to memory improvement. Several mediators may influence the effect of exercise such as the type of exercise (aerobic exercise, muscle stretching). The primary aim was to analyze memory outcomes after a 20-min bout of aerobic exercise or muscle stretching. 42 healthy participants ages 18-35 were randomized to perform 20 min of either moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (AE) on a treadmill or muscle stretching exercise (SE). After exercise, memory was assessed using the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). The relationship between exercise heart rate and memory outcomes were evaluated within each group. Immediate learning as well as delayed recall was higher after AE compared to SE. Heart rate during exercise correlated with immediate learning in the AE group only. Acute exercise that elicits a heart rate response may be important for improving memory.
急性运动与记忆力提升有关。多种调节因素可能会影响运动效果，比如运动类型（有氧运动、肌肉拉伸）。主要目的是分析20分钟的有氧运动或肌肉拉伸后记忆方面的结果。42名年龄在18至35岁之间的健康参与者被随机分为两组，一组在跑步机上进行20分钟的中等强度有氧运动（AE），另一组进行肌肉拉伸运动（SE）。运动后，使用雷伊听觉词语学习测验（RAVLT）评估记忆力。在每组内评估运动心率与记忆结果之间的关系。与SE组相比，AE组的即时学习以及延迟回忆能力更高。仅在AE组中，运动期间的心率与即时学习相关。引发心率反应的急性运动可能对改善记忆力很重要。
