What is Comparing the Effects of an Acute Bout of Physical Exercise with an Acute Bout of Interactive Mental and Physical Exercise on Electrophysiology and Executive Functioning in Younger and Older Adults about?
## Background: Physical exercise has been shown to improve cognitive and neural functioning in older adults. ## Aims and methods: The current study compared the effects of an acute bout of physical exercise with a bout of interactive mental and physical exercise (i.e., "exergaming") on executive (stroop) task performance and event-related potential (erp) amplitudes in younger and older adults. ## Results: Results revealed enhanced executive task performance in younger and older adults after exercise, with no differences in performance between exercise conditions. stroop (rt) performance in older adults improved more than in younger adults from pre- to post-exercise. a significant increase in eeg amplitude from pre- to post-exercise was found at the cz site from 320 to 700 ms post-stimulus for both younger and older adults, with older adults demonstrating a larger stroop interference effect. while younger adults exhibited overall greater eeg amplitudes than older adults, they showed no differences between congruent and incongruent trials (i.e., minimal interference). compared to peers with higher bmi (body mass index), older adults with lower bmi showed a greater reduction in stroop
