Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	EEG	Alpha power/ event-related desynchronization (ERD)	around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention
Primary	Behavioral performance	reaction time of stroop and simon task following congruent and incongruent condition.	around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention
Secondary	P3 component	P3 of event-related potentials component, a larger P3 amplitude and shorter P3 latency means better performance	around 10-30 minutes after exercise intervention
