Abstract

We investigated prefrontal cortex (PFC) hemodynamic response, through functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during executive function (EF) processing in response to acute high intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) in young adults. We also assessed the associated sex differences in the cognitive scores and related PFC hemodynamic functions in response to HIIE. 49 young healthy adult participants (32 women, 17 men) were randomly assigned to either control or HIIE intervention groups. HIIE group participants performed 4 × 4 minutes of HIIE on cycle ergometer with 3 minutes of active recovery between the bouts; control group relaxed for the time equivalent to intervention. fNIRS data was collected during the performance of the EF tests including Color Word Stroop Test (CWST) and Trail Making Test (TMT) in pre and post sessions in both the groups. Results indicated a significant change in the hemodynamic response in the form of increased oxygenated and decreased deoxygenated hemoglobin in the PFC areas specific to the EF tasks, with improved CWST and TMT scores in response to HIIE intervention. PFC activation was different in men and women in response to HIIE, however similar scores of task performance were observed in men and women during the performance of executive functions in response to HIIE. The study concludes that an acute HIIE session improves executive function which is associated with an increase activation of PFC. Sex differences exist in the activation of PFC in response to HIIE during EF processing. Our study adds to the current evidence regarding exercise and cognition.

执行功能加工过程中急性高强度间歇运动的前额叶皮层血流动力学反应。

我们通过功能性近红外光谱(fNIRS)研究了年轻人在急性高强度间歇性运动(HIIE)后执行功能(EF)加工过程中的前额叶皮质(PFC)血流动力学反应。我们还评估了HIIE对认知评分和相关PFC血流动力学功能的相关性别差异。49名年轻健康成人参与者(32名女性，17名男性)被随机分配到对照组或HIIE干预组。HIIE组参与者在循环力计上进行4 × 4分钟的HIIE，两次之间进行3分钟的主动恢复;对照组放松时间相当于干预时间。在两组受试者进行色彩词Stroop测试(CWST)和示踪测试(TMT)时，分别收集fNIRS数据。结果表明，在针对EF任务的PFC区域，血流动力学反应发生了显著变化，其形式是含氧血红蛋白增加和缺氧血红蛋白减少，HIIE干预后CWST和TMT评分有所改善。在HIIE下，PFC的激活在男性和女性中是不同的，然而在执行功能方面，男性和女性在任务表现上的得分是相似的。研究认为，急性HIIE会改善执行功能，这与PFC激活的增加有关。在EF加工过程中，HIIE对PFC的激活存在性别差异。我们的研究增加了关于运动和认知的现有证据。

期刊介绍： The Journal of General Psychology publishes human and animal research reflecting various methodological approaches in all areas of experimental psychology. It covers traditional topics such as physiological and comparative psychology, sensation, perception, learning, and motivation, as well as more diverse topics such as cognition, memory, language, aging, and substance abuse, or mathematical, statistical, methodological, and other theoretical investigations. The journal especially features studies that establish functional relationships, involve a series of integrated experiments, or contribute to the development of new theoretical insights or practical applications.
