Brief Summary

To explore the sustainability of the acute effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on executive function in young adults.

Conditions

Young Healthy Adults

Keywords

Executive Functions; High Intensity Interval Training; Young Healthy Adults

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Stroop task

  Stroop Task is a neurocognitive test for the performance on inhibition control. Participants are shown a series of word colors that are either congruent or incongruent with the color of the word itself. The participant is required to respond to the color of the word and not the word itself.

  From baseline to 72 hours post intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Flanker Task

  From baseline to 72 hours post intervention

• Trail making test (TMT)

  From baseline to 72 hours post intervention

• Wisconsin Card Sorting test (WCST)

  From baseline to 72 hours post intervention

• Change in accuracy as measured by the 2-back task

  From baseline to 72 hours post intervention

Study Arms (2)

HIIT Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a single session of HIIT, which lasts for 19 minutes

Other: High Intensity Interval Training

Control Arm

NO INTERVENTION

Participants will be arranged to rest quietly on a chair for 19 minutes.

Interventions

High Intensity Interval Training OTHER

Participants will receive a single session of HIIT, which last for 19 minutes in duration. During the HIIT session, participants will complete 2 minutes stretching warm-up exercise, followed by a video of exercises which will be projected on the screen to facilitate the participants to follow. The exercise in the video involves various combinations of aerobic and core resistance exercise such as squat jump, jump lunge, push up, burpee, mountain climber etc. The exercise involved bodyweight or minimal basic equipment only, the workout to rest ratio is 45 secs: 15 secs. Participants' heart rate will be kept surveillance and to maintain their respective heart rate attained 85% of aged predicted maximal heart rate during the workout period.
