The Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training Exercise on Cognitive Function of Young Adults: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Overview

To explore the sustainability of the acute effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on executive function in young adults.

Interventions

  • Other High Intensity Interval Training
    Participants will receive a single session of HIIT, which last for 19 minutes in duration. During the HIIT session, participants will complete 2 minutes stretching warm-up exercise, followed by a video of exercises which will be projected on the screen to facilitate the participants to follow. The exercise in the video involves various combinations of aerobic and core resistance exercise such as squat jump, jump lunge, push up, burpee, mountain climber etc. The exercise involved bodyweight or mi

  • Trail making test (TMT) [Time frame: From baseline to 72 hours post intervention]
  • Wisconsin Card Sorting test (WCST) [Time frame: From baseline to 72 hours post intervention]
  • Change in accuracy as measured by the 2-back task [Time frame: From baseline to 72 hours post intervention]
