There is overwhelming support regarding increases in cognitive performance (CP) as a result of acute moderate aerobic exercise (MI). However research regarding the effects of high intensity interval exercise (HII) on CP is limited. PURPOSE: Assess the extent a single bout of aerobic HII has on indices of CP in comparison to the widely accepted effects of MI while controlling for the volume of the acute exercise bouts. Our secondary purpose is to determine if RPE of the exercise bouts is a significant covariate on CP. METHODS: 12 highly fit, highly trained varsity athletes volunteered. Day 1: Baseline cognition (ImPACT), body composition (InBody), and VO2max were assessed. Day 2/3: Participants completed either 30min moderate-intensity treadmill running (60% VO2-Reserve) or 4.5 HII of 3min (90% VO2-Reserve) with 2min (40% VO2-Reserve). ImPACT was administered before and after exercise. Order of interventions was counterbalanced and randomized. At least 48h separated day-1 and day-2, day-2 and day-3 were separated by at least 1 week. RESULTS: Similar significant increases in CP indices were found after both MI and HII including a time x intensity interaction for visual memory. CONCLUSION: CP increases after acute MI and HII exercise in hi-fit hi-trained athletes.
