Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reaction time (milliseconds) is measured using a computer-based go/no-go Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) at baseline (pre-exercise) and immediately after completion of the maximal incremental treadmill test (post-exercise) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Commission errors (%) are measured using the same go/no-go PVT at baseline and immediately post-exercise 2. Omission errors (%) are measured using the same go/no-go PVT at baseline and immediately post-exercise | — |
