Tokyo, Sept. 18 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062956) titled 'Effects of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Performance' on Sept. 17.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Cross-over Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - No treatment

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Chukyo University

Condition: Condition - Maintenance and improvement of cognitive function Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to determine whether the effects of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive performance vary depending on cognitive task difficulty. By systematically manipulating task difficulty, we aim to identify the level of task difficulty at which the effects of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive performance are maximized. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will complete the exercise condition first, followed by the seated rest condition after an interval. The interval between conditions will generally be 3-14 days, although the second session may be postponed due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness. In the exercise condition, participants will perform 20 minutes of cycling exercise on a cycle ergometer at an intensity corresponding to 60-70% of maximal heart rate while watching a neutral video. Cognitive performance will be assessed using the n-back task before and after exercise. In the seated rest condition, participants will remain seated at rest for 20 minutes while watching a neutral video. Cognitive performance will be assessed using the n-back task before and after the rest period. Interventions/Control_2 - Participants will complete the seated rest condition first, followed by the exercise condition after an interval. The interval between conditions will generally be 3-14 days, although the second session may be postponed due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Healthy male and female university students. Key exclusion criteria - Individuals who are unable to exercise because of illness or injury, current smokers, and individuals with a history of neurological or psychiatric disorders will be excluded. Female participants with irregular menstrual cycles or severe symptoms of premenstrual syndrome will also be excluded. Target Size - 40

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 09 Month 14 Day Date of IRB - 2025 Year 10 Month 20 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 10 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2027 Year 09 Month 30 Day
