Effects of Duration and Intensity of Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Performance in Trained Individuals

PURPOSE: This study explored the effect of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive performance in trained cyclists/triathletes. Specifically, it investigated the impact of different exercise durations (completed at a fixed moderate-intensity) and high/maximal intensity exercise (H/MIE) to volitional exhaustion (following a sustained bout of dehydrating activity) on simple and complex cognitive skills. METHODS: On two separate occasions, 21 trained...
