| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to resolve the effects of acute exercise on information processing in the central nervous system. There were three major findings in this study. First, a bout of moderate exercise activated brain areas related to motor preparation such as primary motor area, pre-motor are, and supplementary motor are. Secondly, the duration of the effects of a bout of moderate exercise differed between cognitive processes and response preparation in the central nervous system. Lastly, there were increased in neural activation related to automatic detection during moderate exercise. due to changes in arousal level and activation of frontal lobe during moderate exercise.
