Document Summary
People that are more fit generally perform better cognitively. ****this is a generalized statement that can change based on numerous factors. Current conclusion = small positive effect on cognition lots of factors that play into this: population, age cognitive domains being observed (difficulty of task) -stroop is going to be harder than just a memory recall task. When thinking about exercise, too much exercise too high of intensity, may not enhance performance tip of the curve is called the knee. Timing of testing: during exercise, delay between exercise and testing (20 minute delay) immediately after exercise (1-2 mins after) During exercise: intensity exercise intensity doesn"t effect cognitive performance (i. e. walk vs. run) During exercise: level of physical fitness less fit = negative effect not used to exercising so resources used for exercise purposes. Moderately/ fairly fit (irregularly exercise) may not see an effect.
