Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-intensity exercise on cognitive functioning during activity. Evaluation was accomplished by having participants perform standardized cognitive tests while in three forms of low-intensity exercise and then comparing results to performance when sitting.

Conditions

Cognitive Performance During Physical Activity

Outcome Measures

• Cognitive Testing Performance

  Scores generated from cognitive testing

  Starting in April 2012, participant enrollment was open for 41 months with data collection occurring immediately at the time of testing with no need for follow-up outcome measurements.
