Summary

Cognitive function and psychological well-being are two variables related to academic performance. Several studies have shown that these variables are sensitive to acute physical exercise, but it is not known which doses of exercise are the most adaptive. To explore this issue, a quasi-experimental study was conducted with 35 adolescents from three physical education classes. Participants performed three sessions of physical education with different doses of exercise: no exercise, light/moderate exercise, and moderate/vigorous exercise, controlling intensities with accelerometers. All subjects completed the Stroop test (to measure cognitive inhibition) and well-being questionnaires of subjective vitality, positive affect and negative affect before and after each session.
