Multilevel analyses tested the association between CRF or MF and cognitive outcomes while accounting for the influence of the other fitness variable and relevant demographic factors. Results: CRF predicted response accuracy during incongruent flanker trials, the condition requiring greater inhibition. For the working memory task, CRF predicted greater target accuracy and greater d' scores on the 1-back task, requiring lesser amounts of working memory. In the 2-back task, which requires greater amounts of working memory, CRF also predicted greater target and non-target accuracy and d' scores. Comparatively, MF did not predict any cognitive outcomes after adjustment for CRF. Conclusion: CRF was selectively related to better performance during task conditions that require greater amounts of inhibition and working memory. This finding suggests that CRF, but not MF, may benefit cognitive control in older adolescents. This selective influence of CRF on older adolescents’ cognition highlights the value of aerobic physical activity.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:53:31 AEDT ]]> Effect of a Time-Efficient Physical Activity Intervention on Senior School Students' On-Task Behaviour and Subjective Vitality: the 'Burn 2 Learn' Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41183 Tue 05 Sep 2023 14:58:56 AEST ]]> Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness and mental health in older adolescents: a multi-level cross-sectional analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37626 Thu 11 Apr 2024 09:51:35 AEST ]]> Effect of high-intensity interval training on hippocampal metabolism in older adolescents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50094 Mon 17 Jul 2023 10:30:00 AEST ]]> Process Evaluation of a School-Based High-Intensity Interval Training Program for Older Adolescents: The Burn 2 Learn Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42182 Fri 19 Aug 2022 09:43:19 AEST ]]> Feasibility of test administration and preliminary findings for cognitive control in the Burn 2 learn pilot randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47213 Fri 16 Dec 2022 10:09:24 AEDT ]]>
