Effects of submaximal steady -state aerobic exerciseand fitness in Random Number Generation test
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The immediate aftereffects of one hour submaximal steadystate aerobic exercise of high- and low-fit individuals in a random number generation task were assessed. Twelve male university students (Mage = 22.35 years) volunteered to participate in the study and were separated into fit (VO2 max 55 ml/kg/min) and unfit individuals (VO2 max 45 ml/kg/min) based on their VO2 max values. They performed the Random Number Generation test of attentional deployment before and after ergometer cycling exercise at a resistance equivalent to 55% of individual VO 2 max values. The results of the 2 (Fitness level) by 2 (Experimental Conditions) by 2 (Measures) analysis of variance with Fitness Level as the between factor and Experimental Conditions and Measures as the within subjects factors revealed that one hour of moderate exercise facilitated attentional process as were estimated by Random Number Generation index scores, independently of participants’ level of fitness.
