Acute effect of low-intensity aerobic exercise on eliciting enhanced parietal activation and promoting executive function performance more than moderate-intensity exercise
Participants in the low-intensity group showed improved Stroop task reaction time and enhanced parietal functional connectivity.
Assessment involved measuring cognitive tasks, brain activation via functional near-infrared spectroscopy, and motion analysis during exercises.
Findings suggest low-intensity exercise may optimize cognitive function through improved brain connectivity, highlighting its relevance for cognitive health.
