Implication

May enhance acute cognition with brief exercise; leaves open generalizability and durability in clinical populations.

Structured PICO

Does less than 30 min of aerobic stair-climbing exercise improve processing speed and error rate in human subjects?

P
Population
Human subjects
I
Intervention
Stair-climbing exercise (less than 30 min of aerobic exercise)
C
Comparator
Nonexercise control
O
Outcome
Processing speed and error rate measured by the color-naming Stroop Testsurrogate

Less than 30 minutes of aerobic exercise acutely improves executive function and processing speed, particularly for tasks requiring conflict resolution.
