Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Physical Activity Interventions in Unique Environments

NCT03501953 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2019-08-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized intervention is designed to compare the influence of physical activity in natural and urban environments on cognitive and physical health. Half of the participants will participate in a six-week physical activity class based in a natural environment, and half of the participants will participate in a six-week physical activity class based in an indoor environment. The investigators hypothesize the nature-based intervention will produce lower cognitive fatigue (measured using neurophysiological measurements), better cognitive performance (measured using cognitive assessments), and increased physical fitness (measuring using fitness testing).
