Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral performance | around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention | reaction time of stroop and simon task following congruent and incongruent condition. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| P3 component | around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention | P3 of event-related potentials component, a larger P3 amplitude and shorter P3 latency means better performance |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EEG | around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention | Alpha power/ event-related desynchronization (ERD) |
