Longitudinal trial finds aerobic exercise enhances working memory in college students, suggesting therapeutic benefits.

This study examines how aerobic exercise impacts working memory in college students with internet addiction over time.
Longitudinal study with 48 male college students screened for internet addiction.
Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (aerobic exercise) or a control group.
The experimental group engaged in 40-minute aerobic cycling sessions, three times weekly for 12 weeks.
Post-test accuracy for the 1-back task in the experimental group improved with P < 0.05.
2-back task showed mid-test and post-test accuracies significantly higher than pre-test (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively).
EEG analysis revealed post-test alpha band energy values higher than pre-test (P < 0.05) and significant increases in theta band energy for mid-test and post-test (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001).

Wang et al. (2026) studied this question.
