Key result
Maximal effort exercise significantly increased absolute beta power at frontal and central areas compared to pre-exercise resting values (p<0.05).

Does maximal exercise alter absolute power in beta and alpha frequency bands in healthy young volunteers?
Population
10 healthy young volunteers
Comparison
Maximal exercise test using a mechanical cycle… vs Pre-exercise resting state

Small observational EEG study after maximal exercise warrants caution; leaves open cortical activation effects in clinical populations.
Does maximal exercise alter absolute power in beta and alpha frequency bands in healthy young volunteers?
p-value: p=<0.05
Maximal effort exercise increases beta frequency band absolute power in frontal and central areas, suggesting increased cortical activation.
Moraes et al. (2007) studied Healthy (n=10). Maximal effort exercise using a mechanical cycle ergometer vs. Pre-exercise (resting) was evaluated on Absolute power alterations in beta and alpha frequency bands (p=<0.05). Maximal effort exercise significantly increased absolute beta power at frontal and central areas compared to pre-exercise resting values (p<0.05).
