Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current primary outcome measures as of 17/03/2017: 1. Attention, working memory, associative learning, processing speed and executive function is measured using the computerized CogState battery at the baseline and at the 3 months 2. Brain functions by magnetoencephalography (MEG) in a subsample of participants taking part in sub study investigating the effects of acute high intensity interval training on cognition and brain functioning. Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Attention, working memory, associative learning, processing speed and executive function is measured using the computerized CogState battery at the baseline and at the 3 months 2. Reading and arithmetic skills are measured using pseudo word reading and KTLT tests, respectively, at the baseline and at the 3 months 3.
