Overview

Analysis shows acute exercise improves executive control and reduces internet craving in college students, indicating benefits for managing dependency.

Key Points

  • Acute aerobic exercise significantly reduces internet craving in college students with dependency, enhancing cognitive functions.
  • Analysis revealed improved executive control with shorter response times and increased accuracy after exercise.
  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy examined brain activation in the prefrontal cortex, showing engagement of key areas during tasks.
  • These results highlight the potential clinical implications for using exercise as a treatment modality for internet dependency.
