Astorino et al., 2012: Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Cardiovascular Function, VO2max, and Muscular Force
- The purpose of this study was was to examine the effects of short-term high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiovascular function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscular force.
- Subjects were 20 young, active males and females between the ages of 20 and 29 with body fat percentages ranging between 7% and 20%. Subjects were all of similar physiological characteristics and socioeconomic background. Subjects were volunteers and met inclusion criteria set by the P.I.
- The data collected included changes in resting blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR), VO2max, body composition, oxygen (O2) pulse, peak, mean, and minimum power output, fatigue index, and voluntary force production of the knee flexors and extensors. All data was collected pre- and post-training.
- Significant (p < 0.05) improvements were found in VO2max, O2 pulse, and Wingate-derived power output in the HIIT group. The magnitude of improvement in VO2max was related to baseline VO2max (r = -0.44, p = 0.05) and fatigue index (r = 0.50, p < 0.05). There was no change (p > 0.05) in resting BP, HR, or force production. Data show that HIIT significantly enhanced VO2max, O2 pulse and power output in active men and women.
- The conclusions drawn from the results suggest that 2 weeks of HIIT improves VO2max, and peak and mean power output in active, young males and females.
- This study sheds light on the ability of HIIT to influence markers of cardiovascular function and VO2max in a similar fashion to that of aerobic exercise.

Introduction
This paper will explore the effects of resistance and aerobic exercise on cognitive
and academic outcomes in youth. For the purposes of this paper, the term executive
function (EF) will be used to characterize a broad array of controlled cognitive outcomes
including, but not limited to academic achievement, working memory, arousal, problem
solving, selective attention, and general higher level thought processing. Historically,
Spirduso (1975) was the first to study the association between cardiovascular fitness and
memory. Since that time, the exploration of the effects of varying interventions relating
exercise and executive functions have developed into a substantial research interest.
Much of the foundational research in this spectrum has been correlational in nature,
stemming largely from the works of Kramer et al. (1999). However, in recent years more
attention has been paid to the effects of acute exercise and its role in advancing EF.
While a large percentage of this body of literature has emphasized aerobic work as the
primary exercise mode, evidence has been brought to light giving credence to the notion
that resistance exercise may also play a role in EF and cognition. The distinctions
between these forms of exercise and their EF effects will be analyzed according to
subject age group (youth, adult, senior) in the following paragraphs. Age groupings will
be broken down as follows: youth < 18 years old, adult 18-64 years old, seniors > 65
years old. Additionally, for the sake of this work, all studies that utilize EF testing
during, or immediately following exercise bouts will be examined under the realm of
acute exercise.

Acute Aerobic Exercise and EF in Youth Populations
The origins of the study of youth EF following acute aerobic exercise (AE) can be
traced back to the work of Gabbard and Barton (1979) who investigated the relationship
between physical exertion and mathematics computation scores in second grade boys and
girls. Students were asked to perform standard relay-type activities in a cyclical method
for the following intervals: no exertion (pre-test), 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes, followed by
another no-exertion post-test. Mathematics computations were administered five minutes
after each exertion period and consisted of 36 questions that did not require borrowing or
carrying functions. Significant differences were found in mean scores following only the
50-minute treatment, which led the authors to conclude that aerobic exercise of specific
(50-minute) duration could positively affect mental performance in youth. Interestingly,
despite the positive results found by Gabbard and Barton, acute AE was not studied as an
EF intervention in youth for quite some time. Zervas et al. (1991) demonstrated a
significant difference in matching ability measured before and following acute exercise
bouts between nine sets of twin boys. The boys were exposed to either a six-month
aerobic exercise regimen or a standard school PE program, with non-twin peers in a non-
exercising control group. Several years later, Gabbard and McNaughten (1993)
continued exploration of exertion on math computation in youth, looking specifically at
mathematics computation among sixth-grade boys and girls following bouts of paced
walking for 20, 30, and 40 minutes at varying times throughout the school day. Tests
were performed at 8:30 am, 11:50 am, and 2:20 pm for three weeks, after which students
would perform 90-second tests of math computation. Results indicated that scores were
SHORTENED TITLE 4
significantly higher at 11:50 am and 2:20 pm following the 30 and 40-minute bouts of
aerobic exercise.
Re-emergence of the study of acute AE on youth EF arrived in the mid to late
2000’s and has since become a hot topic. Hillman et al. (2009), one of the leading
researchers in the area of youth activity and academic achievement, demonstrated
cognitive improvements in pre-adolescent children following 20 minutes of treadmill
walking at 60% of the child’s max heart rate. Response accuracy, P3 amplitude, and
increased performance on a measure of academic achievement all significantly differed in
the aerobic exercise group over that of a non-exercising control. Similarly, Best (2012)
showed a cognitive enhancement as measured by response time and accuracy in resolving
visual stimuli in children aged 6 to 10 years old following 10 minutes of exergaming.
Results from such research demonstrate reason for inclusion of aerobic physical activity
in schools for the sake of cognition and academic achievement. Further, classroom
teachers may be directly impacted by research findings from Budde et al. (2008), who
showed an increase in attention and concentration among 115 adolescent students in an
elite performance school following just ten minutes of coordinative exercise.
Interestingly, this study also compared the effects of a normal sport lesson matched for
heart rate on the same outcome variables and found that while both exercise modes
improved concentration and attention, results were greater in the coordinative exercise
group. These findings may provide valuable information as to the type of aerobic
exercise that best elevates student achievement in the classroom. Continuing this trend,
Tine and Butler (2012) focused their efforts on improvements in selective attention in
children from low-income homes. This work was especially important, as youths from
SHORTENED TITLE 5
lower income families have typically been shown to exhibit poor EF skills in relation to
their higher-income peers. However, Tine and Butler demonstrated that after a 12-minute
session of aerobic exercise, 6th and 7th grade students from both low and high-income
backgrounds were able to increase their selective attention, with low-income students
showing significantly greater improvements. Finally, with ADD and ADHD being an
ever-increasing dilemma that classroom teachers must deal with on a daily basis, the
work of Chang et al. (2012) was a great step forward for the field of physical activity as
related to AA and EF. This study examined youths aged 8-15 who had been classified as
ADHD by a clinical psychologist and found that following an acute bout of 30-minutes of
moderate-intensity treadmill running, students in the exercise group significantly out-
performed their non-exercising peers in tests of executive function, specifically the
Stroop test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Results indicate that acute aerobic
exercise may better help allocate executive attention resources in children with ADHD.
It is clear that while this field of research is still relatively young and under-studied, many
positive results have been discovered in the quest to increase youth learning and EF, and
as such, acute aerobic exercise appears to play an important role in many aspects of brain
function and cognition.
Acute Resistance Exercise and EF in Youth Populations
To date there have yet to be any published studies performed on youth
populations looking at acute resistance exercise (RE) and EF. As mentioned previously,
pilot data from the principal investigator has established initial evidence to support equal
efficacy between AE and RE on measures of cognition in high school youth.
Additionally, resistance exercise has received recognition as an appropriate and viable
SHORTENED TITLE 6
form of youth fitness from the National Strength and Conditioning Association
(Faigenbaum et al., 2009). Additionally, RE has been shown to impact such variables as
self-esteem (Courneya et al., 2007), body composition (Garber et al., 2011), coordination
(Garber et al., 2011), strength (Kraemer et al., 2002), cognitive arousal (Chang & Etnier,
2009), improved quality of life (Kraemer et al., 2002), and protection against health- and
age-related disease (Garber et al., 2011). Thus, there is reason to suspect that a well-
designed resistance training program could have a similar effect to that of traditional
aerobic exercise on executive function. Future research should target both chronic and
acute resistance exercise as a means of effecting change in EF in youth, especially as this
line of research continues to grow with the utilization of aerobic exercise.
Acute Aerobic Exercise and EF in Adult Populations
The paucity of studies completed in the examination of EF in youth populations is
quite the opposite of what is seen among adults. In fact, quite a large body of literature
exists documenting acute aerobic and anaerobic exercise and numerous measures of
cognitive function. In a review done by Tomporowski (2003), an interesting theme came
to light, highlighted by several studies from Cian and colleagues (Cian et al., 2000; Cian
et al., 2001) who discovered that EF (specifically short-term memory) was attenuated
following acute bouts of intense aerobic exercise leading to dehydration. In fact, the
studies in which subjects were in a dehydrated state were the only examples that did not
show either an increase in EF or no change between groups studied, indicating that there
may be a link between hydration and cognition, at least as related to acute aerobic
exercise. Tomporowski found several other aspects of EF that were positively influenced
by AE, including reaction time, mathematics computations, Stroop testing, perception,
SHORTENED TITLE 7
decision making, concentration, and memory (2003). The majority of the examined
studies of acute AE made use of modalities such as treadmill running (Heckler & Croce,
1992; Lichtman & Poser, 1983; Marriott et al., 1993; Tomporowski et al., 1987), or
cycling (Hogervorst et al., 1996; Tomporowski, 2003) at various intensities and
durations. Facilitation in measures of EF were seen in the majority of these studies,
while at worst, no effect was seen in measures of choice reaction time, tapping
(Hogervorst et al. 1996), and free recall memory (Tomporowski et al. 1987).
Following publication of Tomporowski’s review, the literature on this topic
continued its growth as researchers made attempts to discover the underlying factors that
related EF to acute exercise. Hillman et al. (2003) examined the neuroelectric response
of 20 undergraduate subjects to an acute 30-minute bout of graded treadmill exercise. P3
amplitude and performance on the Eriksen Flanker test were evaluated when subjects’
heart rates had returned to 10% of pre-exercise levels. Results indicated that following
acute AE, P3 amplitude was increased significantly above baseline levels, hinting at the
possibility of increased cognition via elevated allocation of neuroelectric resources and
speed of executive processing. Similar, positive results following acute exercise were
found by Tomporowski and Ganio (2006), who discovered an increase in performance of
a task-switching test among male and female undergraduate students upon completion of
40 minutes of submaximal AE. The task-switching test was also perceived to be less
frustrating to students following acute exercise as compared to a resting condition.
Interestingly, while students performed better on the measure of processing speed, short-
term memory was not affected in either males or females following completion of acute
AE. A possible explanation for this discrepancy lies in the executive processing theory
SHORTENED TITLE 8
explained by Kramer et al. (2003), which states that physical activity most likely impacts
operations in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is responsible for information
processing. Short-term memory functions on the other hand, are the primary
responsibility of the hippocampal region of the brain, which does not appear to be
affected in the same manner by physical activity, chronic or acute. With such
information in mind, Coles and Tomporowski (2008) investigated the impact of 40
minutes of acute AE on aspects of long-term memory in undergraduate students. Similar
in nature to the protocol used by Tomporowski and Ganio in 2006, this study also
observed changes in primacy and recency portions of a word-recall list, or the ability of
the students to recall items in the first and last parts of a word list, which appears to be an
indicator of increased long-term memory storage. Indeed, after acute bouts of AE on a
cycle ergometer, students were able to recall significantly more of these first and last
items in the test as compared to a resting and non-exercising control. Authors believed
that arousal levels were influenced in a positive way by the exercise intervention, leading
to greater cognitive encoding and consolidation of working memory. Caution must be
used when interpreting these results, however, as long and short-term memory did not
actually increase as a result of this intervention, subjects simply performed less poorly in
these measures following acute AE.
An additional aspect of acute exercise of interest to researchers hoping to observe
changes in EF is that of exercise intensity. In this regard, there seems to be some
conflicting evidence relating the ability of acute AE to consistently influence EF. Much
of the research in this regard has dealt with arousal levels, indicating the possibility of an
inverted U-shaped curve as arousal increases related to exercise intensity. This U-shaped
SHORTENED TITLE 9
relationship was first observed by Levitt and Gutin (1971), who found an improvement in
men’s reaction times during treadmill walking at speeds that produced 115 heartbeats per
minute. As heart rate increased to 145 beats per minute, reaction time returned to
baseline levels, and at 175 beats per minute, was further attenuated below basal levels.
Similarities were observed in studies by Salmela and Ndoye (1986), Cote et al. (1992),
Brisswalter et al. (1995), Kamijo et al. (2004), and Chmura et al. (1994).
While the inverted U-shaped curve has been observed in multiple studies of EF
and arousal resulting from acute AE, a more common theme seen in the literature is that
subjects are able to make quicker responses while performing acute AE as compared to
non-exercise or low-intensity exercise (Tomporowski, 2003). Results corroborating the
notion that response time is hastened while exercising at moderate intensities include
studies done by McMorris and Keen (1994), Aks (1998), Allard et al. (1989), Arcelin et
al. (1997), McGlynn et al. (1977), and McMorris et al. (1996, 1997, 1999). The vast
majority of these studies utilized cycle ergometer protocols with subjects performing
cognitive tasks during or after completion of exercise at various intensities.
One of the more recent hypotheses regarding EF and higher-intensity acute
exercise is known as the transient hypofrontality theory. This theory was developed and
further explored by Dietrich (Dietrich & Sparling, 2004; Dietrich, 2006) in an attempt to
explain the findings that indicated a reduction in EF capabilities during acute exercise.
The primary premise behind Dietrich’s hypothesis was that the brain operates on a
limited metabolic supply, and during exercise, while the brain is occupied with the
performance of complex movement patterns, there is limited availability for EF to be
directed towards other tasks. This notion was further supported by DelGiorno et al.
SHORTENED TITLE 10
(2010), who examined EF in a cohort of male and female adults during, immediately
following, and 20 minutes post-exercise. Acute exercise bouts were performed at
ventilatory threshold (VT) and 75% VT for 30 minutes followed by a performance task
test and the Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test. A significant increase in errors and false alarms
were seen during both exercise intensities. Interestingly, errors remained elevated after
20 minutes in the VT group, but not in the 75% VT group, indicating that EF may indeed
be negatively impacted by high intensity acute exercise, and that additional recuperation
time is needed to observe the cognitive benefits associated with exercise. These findings
were corroborated by Labelle et al. (2012), who found that cognitive control, as measured
by the Stroop test, decreased as exercise intensity increased from 60% to 80% of peak
power output. These findings must be taken into account when designing AE
interventions targeted at adult populations.
Acute Resistance Exercise and EF in Adult Populations
As was seen in the comparison of acute resistance and aerobic exercise in youth
populations, a great disparity exists between the number of studies examining the same
variables in adult populations. While the reason for this disparity is unclear, there at least
exist a small number of adult studies looking at RE and its effects on EF. The first study
to examine the effects of RE on EF in adults was performed by Krus et al. (1958). This
work utilized a protocol that required participants to push against a spring-loaded board
for 20 seconds, after which they were given a test of perceptual sensitivity. Results
indicated a significant decrease in perceptual sensitivity, leading authors to assume that
the positive associations observed following acute AE may be task dependent. Not until
2009 was this acute exercise modality again studied in adult populations, when Pontifex
SHORTENED TITLE 11
et al. compared the effects of resistance and aerobic exercise on measures of reaction
time and working memory. Subjects completed EF related tasks before, immediately
after, and 30 minutes after completion of the exercise protocol. Response time was
significantly shorter in the time periods immediately after and 30 minutes after aerobic
exercise, with no observed changes for resistance exercise or seated rest control. A larger
decrease in reaction time was also seen in the aerobic exercise modality for those
conditions requiring increased working memory. No differences were found in this
regard for resistance exercise or resting control. Authors speculated that differences in
cerebral blood flow between aerobic and resistive exercise may be the underlying cause
behind the null response of acute strength training and EF. It should be noted, however,
that another study examining acute resistance exercise and cognitive function was being
performed at the same time by Chang and Etnier (2009b), with contrarian results. The
work by Chang and Etnier focused solely on RE compared to a resting control, and
determined that two sets of 10 repetitions of six exercises induced a significantly
different response in measures of the Stroop test and the Trail Making Test. These
findings give credence to the notion that RE may indeed have an effect on cognition,
albeit specifically in terms of processing speed and task shifting. Additional study of
such measures of EF were examined by Alves et al. (2012), who observed a cohort of 42
healthy middle-aged women in a counterbalanced, crossover, randomized trial design.
Each subject was exposed to the aerobic, resistance, and non-exercise treatments and
analyzed for performance on the Stroop Test and Trail Making Test. Subjects performed
significantly better on the Stroop Test but not the Trail Making Test for both the aerobic
and resistance interventions as compared to the non-exercise control. As with other
SHORTENED TITLE 12
studies, authors concluded that while increases in EF can be seen with RE as well as AE,
changes may be task specific.
Acute Aerobic Exercise and EF in Senior Populations
While clear benefits exist across all ages for increasing cognition and EF, it seems
that young and old populations could benefit to the greatest degree for both health
purposes and increased mental functioning. To this end, there exists encouraging
evidence that older adults display similar increases in EF to those already discussed in
this review. Specifically, Molloy (1988) found an increase in cognition as measured by
logical memory test following 45 minutes of moderate intensity AE in older adults.
Emery et al. (2001) found similar results in a cohort of elderly COPD patients who were
exposed to 20 minutes of a cycling protocol followed by a cool-down period. These
subjects demonstrated increased verbal processing via the Verbal Fluency Test.
Interestingly, a comparison was made to healthy older adults and only those with COPD
were found to demonstrate an increase following acute exercise. Light and moderate
cycling exercise was also used as a modality in determining response to a Flanker task
test and P3 amplitude in a study of young and old males by Kamijo et al. (2009). Both
groups demonstrated a reduction in reaction time following moderate exercise, and a
decrease in P3 latency following light and moderate exercise. P3 amplitude was found to
increase only among the younger subjects, however, lending credence to the idea that
some aspects of cognition may be age dependent. Other increases seen in cognitive tests
performed among seniors following acute AE include the Stroop Test (Hyodo et al.,
SHORTENED TITLE 13
2012) and measures of reaction time and task switching (Kimura & Hozumi, 2012).
Increases in these areas of cognition were seen after bouts of cycle ergometry and free
and choreographed dance, respectively.
Acute Resistance Exercise and EF in Senior Populations
As was seen among youth populations, no studies to date have been performed
utilizing acute bouts of RE in senior populations to affect EF or cognition. However,
there have been a handful of studies looking at the chronic effects of resistance training
on EF in seniors, which indeed sheds light on the possibility of RE to affect cognition in
older adults. Facilitation in measures such as the Stroop Test (Liu-Ambrose et al., 2008),
free recall (Perrig-Chiello et al., 1998), reaction time (Brown et al., 2009), and memory
(Cancela-Carral & Ayan-Perez, 2007) have all been documented following longer term
RE programs in older adults. Cassilhas et al. (2007) also demonstrated that 24 weeks of
either moderate or high intensity RE had equal, positive effects on cognition in elderly
adults. Similar results were also found by Nagamatsu et al. (2012), who discovered that
twice-a-week RE had a countering effect towards the customary decline in cognition seen
among aging adults. Clearly there is a need for more research in this area examining
these or similar measures of cognition and EF following acute RE in elderly subjects.
