Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between brain metabolism and brain function (e.g., executive function) during exercise in human. It is suggested that alterations in exercise-induced systemic lactate levels affect brain lactate uptake, thereby influencing executive function.
