Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded in measuring enhanced oxy-Hb elicited by go/no-go tasks after mild aerobic exercise set at 30% of the subject’s maximum heart rate as calculated by Karvonen’s formula, for 10 min. Enhanced oxy-Hb reflected an improvement in the human motor inhibitory process, one of most important human cognitive functions. Even mild exercise intensity could trigger changes in brain functions, which clearly demonstrates that people should participate actively in exercise to maintain or improve cognitive functions in daily life.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで、適度な強度の運動が前頭葉の持つ認知機能などに効果的な影響を与えることを示す研究が多く行われてきた。本研究では、高齢者や障害を持っている方等も遂行できるような軽強度の運動が前頭葉の持つ機能の一つである運動抑制機能にどのような影響を与えるか示したものである。軽強度の運動においても脳に対して、効果的な影響を与えることを示唆することができた。
