| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of moderate intensity exercise on executive function (EF) in adolescence when brain tissue becomes structurally stable. There was a discrepancy in the effect of moderate exercise on 2 EF tasks in adolescents. There was substantially no effect of exercise on inhibition control、whereas a transient decline in WM function was observed during moderate intensity exercise. These findings may represent a transitional stage of maturation of brain function in the adolescence.
