Effects OF Acute Aerobic Exercise On Higher Cerebral Functions

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

We are comparing higher cerebral functions including cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory in healthy young adults between a group of acute aerobic exercise and a control group.

Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this study is to compare cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, and working memory in healthy young adults between two groups: a group undergoing acute aerobic exercise and a control group. Methodology: Study Design: A Randomized Controlled Trial Study Setting: The Physiology Laboratory at Khyber Medical College, Peshawar Study Duration: The study will last for three months. Sample Size: The study will include 19 participants in each group - the Exercising group (E-Group) and the Control group (C-Group). Healthy young people between 18-25 years who are non-smokers will be included. Sampling: The enrollment in the Randomised Control Trial will be conveniently based, wherein all those who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled as per study numbers. A lottery method will be adopted for randomization. Procedure: The first step is to take ethical approval from the Institutional Research & Ethical Review Board. Following which, after taking informed consent from the participants, the enrolled participants will be randomly allocated to 2 groups. A demographic questionnaire will be filled. This will be followed by a general physical examination. Both groups will be familiarized with the executive function tasks, while the E-group will have an additional session regarding the exercise protocol. Both groups will have an initial assessment of executive functions using online psytoolkit followed by intervention. The E-group will undergo 30 minutes of treadmill walking at 60-65% of HRmax with continuous recording of heart rate and ECG via the Biopac system, while the control group session will consist of sitting idly and quietly in the laboratory doing nothing with continuous recording of heart rate and ECG via the Biopac student lab system. In the end, executive function tests will be assessed before and after exercise using online psytoolkit.org. The data will be extracted via a properly designed proforma and on Microsoft Excel sheet. Statistical Analysis: Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)25.0 will be used for statistical analysis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
