Overview

May guide personalized exercise for mood benefits in select patients; extends EEG asymmetry research on affective responses to aerobic activity.

Structured PICO

Does acute aerobic exercise alter EEG asymmetry and affect in participants?

P
Population
20 participants
I
Intervention
30-min cycling exercise at 55% VO2max and 30-min cycling exercise at 70% VO2max
C
Comparator
30-min nonexercise control
O
Outcome
EEG asymmetry and affect (positive affect and state anxiety) assessed pre- and 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 min postconditionsurrogate

Higher intensity aerobic exercise (70% VO2max) elicits affective responses that appear to be mediated by resting anterior brain activation.
