The role of exercise in restoring executive function: a comparison of tobacco-exposed college athletes and sedentary students by Minjia Wang, Shuya Wu, Qian Ma, Hao Hu, Yanpei Liu, Yaozheng Wang, Shitao Zhan, Dongsen Liu, Olivier Girard

“…All participants completed the Eriksen flanker task, with prefrontal cortex activation measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. After the baseline test, all sedentary students engaged in 33 min of high-intensity interval training, followed by the same procedures as in the pre-test.ResultsIn the flanker task, college athletes exhibited superior executive function compared to sedentary students, with higher accuracy (p = 0.042), faster reaction times (p = 0.002), and more pronounced brain activation (p = 0.048). …”
