Summary

This study aims to compare the effects of upper and lower-extremity isometrics on cognition in healthy adolescents.

Conditions

  • Healthy Adolescents

Interventions

OTHER

Alternating unilateral Isometric Handgrip Exercise

Participants (n=19) will be performing alternating unilateral Isometric Handgrip exercises using a dynamometer for 3-5 days a week for a total duration of 8 weeks. The participant will be seated with their elbow resting on the armrest and wrists off the supporting surface. A single session will consist of 4 sets of 30%MVC (calculated by dynamometer) of handgrip exercise with a maximum 2 minutes contraction time/ hold time followed by a rest period/ recovery period of 1 minute during each set.

OTHER

Dominant knee extension Isometric Exercise

Participants enrolled in this group will be performing dominant leg isometric knee extension. The knee will be 35° flexed from a fully extended position when performing isometric knee extension using a hand-held dynamometer retrained by a belt. The intervention duration will be 8 weeks. A single session will consist of performing 4 sets of 30% MVC (calculated using a dynamometer) of unilateral knee extension isometrics with a maximum 2 minutes contraction time/ hold time followed by a rest/ recovery period of 1 minute during each set.
