Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: A reduction in mean reaction time in the incongruent condition of the Stroop test was expected after the resistance exercise conditions, mainly after the high intensity condition, verified by the mean reaction time of correct responses in the incongruent condition, assessed before the intervention and at 5 and 15 minutes after each experimental condition ;Observed outcome 1: A reduction in mean reaction time in the incongruent condition of the Stroop test was observed after the resistance exercise conditions, with a more pronounced response at 15 minutes after the high intensity condition, verified by the mean reaction time of correct responses in the incongruent condition, assessed before the intervention and at 5 and 15 minutes after each experimental condition | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: A reduction in mean reaction time in the congruent condition, a reduction in total performance time in the Stroop test and maintenance of total accuracy were expected after the resistance exercise conditions, verified by response times and the total number of correct responses, assessed before the intervention and at 5 and 15 minutes after each experimental condition;Observed outcome 2: A reduction in total performance time in the Stroop test was observed after the resistance exercise conditions, especially at 15 minutes, while total accuracy remained stable, verified by response times and the total number of correct responses, assessed before the intervention and at 5 and 15 minutes after each experimental condition | — |
