The effects of exercise on mood and cognitive functioning
Abstract
Psychological measures of mood and perceptual speed were administered to 64 subjects prior to and immediately following involvement in either vigorous exercise or a hobby class which served as a contrast group. In general, results support the claim that physical activity is associated with incremental changes in mood and mental functioning. Although significant changes on several variables were also observed in the contrast group, the magnitude of change from pre- to post-testing was greater for the experimental group. The study suggests several important directions for future research.

The study's findings are in line with previous research showing that acute exercise influences response inhibition.
“The findings of the present study are in line with previously conducted research, where studies that employ tasks measuring response inhibition provide compelling evidence for the influence of acute bouts of exercise on the ability to block irrelevant information and to select and respond to task-relevant information [39,40].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
