An acute bout of localized resistance exercise, particularly at high intensity, can rapidly improve inhibitory control in healthy men.
Tsukamoto et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=12). Localized resistance exercise (bilateral knee extension) vs. Resting control (CON) was evaluated on Inhibitory control measured by the color-word Stroop task (CWST) reverse-Stroop interference score (Cohen's d 1.74, p=<0.01). An acute bout of localized resistance exercise, particularly at high intensity, rapidly improved inhibitory control compared to a resting control (Cohen's d 1.74, p<0.01).
