People are prone to mental fatigue following prolonged work or study, which can lead to a decline in working memory performance. Addressing the adverse effects of mental fatigue on working memory has become a focus of research attention. Aerobic exercise and music are possible intervention methods. Following confirmation of the impact of mental fatigue on working memory, this study developed three intervention protocols (moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, fast-paced music, and aerobic exercise combined with fast-paced music) to investigate their effects on working memory performance under mental fatigue. The results indicated that following the onset of mental fatigue, both aerobic exercise and fast-paced music were effective in restoring working memory performance impaired by mental fatigue, with this positive effect potentially attributed to alterations in alertness. This study may offer insights for individuals seeking to restore working memory under conditions of mental fatigue.
长时间工作或学习后，人们容易出现精神疲劳，这可能导致工作记忆表现下降。解决精神疲劳对工作记忆的不利影响已成为研究关注的焦点。有氧运动和音乐是可能的干预方法。在确认精神疲劳对工作记忆的影响后，本研究制定了三种干预方案（中等强度有氧运动、快节奏音乐以及有氧运动与快节奏音乐相结合），以研究它们对精神疲劳状态下工作记忆表现的影响。结果表明，精神疲劳出现后，有氧运动和快节奏音乐都能有效恢复因精神疲劳而受损的工作记忆表现，这种积极效果可能归因于警觉性的改变。本研究可能为那些试图在精神疲劳状态下恢复工作记忆的人提供见解。
