Summary

This study will examine the acute effects of high intensity interval ergometry on peripheral concentrations of lactate and hydrogen ions, as well as cognitive function. Approximately 60 healthy, college-aged males will participate in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), a measure of executive function, two times over a span of two weeks. Prior to the WCST, participants will complete either a warm-up, a warm-up and high intensity interval exercise, or a stationary period. Changes in lactate, pH, and WCST score will be evaluated between and within groups in relation to the presence of the high intensity exercise stimulus.

Conditions

  • High Intensity Interval Exercise (HIIE)
  • Pain Perception

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

10 seconds of sprinting on a bicycle ergometer against a resistance equivalent to 5.5% of a participant's body weight, followed by 20 seconds of rest, repeated 10 times. (\~5 minutes)

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Task

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) is a measure of Executive Function.
