dc.description.abstractShort duration exercise has been known to transiently improve cognition. However, the effects of endurance exercise remain mixed. Mobile electroencephalography (EEG) allows researchers to further study changes in cognitive processing at the level of neural activity. N200, a specific Event Related Potential (ERP) component is seen in EEG data when an infrequent stimulus is presented, reflecting attention and inhibition. The aim of this research is to explore the effects of submaximal running for two hours on the ERP N200 component elicited using an interactive visual attention task. Of particular interest is if two hours of submaximal running will cause an inflection from exercise induced improvement to exercise induced impairment in cognitive performance.
