An umbrella review of randomized control trials on the effects of physical exercise on cognition

This paper reviews RCTs on exercise's cognitive effects, finding small benefits that diminish with bias correction and methodological issues.

Tonic and transient oscillatory brain activity during acute exercise

This study examines brain oscillatory activity during acute aerobic exercise and finds increased power across frequencies and specific changes in theta, alpha, and beta power during moderate-to-high intensity cycling.

Physical exercise increases overall brain oscillatory activity but does not influence inhibitory control in young adults

This study examines how acute physical exercise affects brain oscillatory activity and inhibitory control in young adults, finding increased oscillatory activity during exercise that dissipates quickly, with no impact on inhibitory control.

Neural Responses to Heartbeats of Physically Trained and Sedentary Young Adults

This study compares neural responses to heartbeats between physically trained and sedentary young adults, finding differences in pre-stimulus processing that correlate with behavioral performance in the trained group.
