Abstract

While short bouts of exercise are known to improve cognitive and academic performance in children, the underlying neural mechanisms driving these changes remain unclear. This study evaluates the effects of short (9-min) acute bouts of exercise (high intensity interval exercise, HIIE; moderate-intensity cycling) on error-related negativity (ERN), and academic achievement. School-aged children (n = 25; ages 9–12) participated in a within-subjects, crossover design, completing one of three conditions (HIIE, moderate-intensity cycling, and seated rest) on three separate days. ERN was measured using electroencephalography (EEG) during a flanker task. Academic achievement tests were completed following only HIIE and seated rest. HIIE significantly reduced ERN amplitude compared to both cycling and seated rest conditions, suggesting improved neural efficiency in error processing. Children also exhibited improved word recognition fluency following HIIE, with a positive trend observed for decoding fluency. These findings suggest that HIIE sessions can enhance neural markers of error processing and academic performance in children. Further research is necessary to explore the long-term effects and potential for broader cognitive improvements resulting from regular integration of HIIE interventions for children.

短时间运动对儿童错误相关消极情绪和学业成绩的影响。

虽然短时间的运动可以提高儿童的认知能力和学习成绩，但驱动这些变化的潜在神经机制尚不清楚。本研究评估短时间（9分钟）急性运动(高强度间歇运动，HIIE；中等强度循环)对错误相关负性（ERN）和学业成绩的影响。学龄儿童(n = 25；9-12岁)参加了一项受试者内交叉设计，在三个不同的日子里完成三种条件（HIIE，中等强度自行车和坐式休息）中的一种。在侧卫任务期间使用脑电图（EEG）测量ERN。学业成绩测试仅在HIIE和坐式休息后完成。与骑车和坐着休息条件相比，HIIE显著降低了神经神经网络的振幅，表明神经系统在误差处理方面的效率有所提高。儿童在HIIE后也表现出了更好的单词识别流畅性，在解码流畅性方面也有积极的趋势。这些发现表明，HIIE课程可以增强儿童错误处理和学习成绩的神经标记。需要进一步的研究来探索定期整合HIIE干预对儿童的长期影响和更广泛的认知改善的潜力。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
