For Experiment 1, participants (N = 40; M<sub>age</sub> = 21.0 years) were randomized into one of two groups, including an experimental exercise group and a control group (seated for 20 min). The experimental group engaged in an acute bout of resistance exercises (circuit style exercises) for 15 minutes, followed by a 5-min recovery period.

The THT involved a spatio-temporal assessment of what, where, and when components of episodic memory.
