Accuracy across conditions and inferential tests.
| Panel A. Descriptive statistics | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variables (N) | Time | HE, M (SD) | LE, M (SD) | AC, M (SD) |
| Congruent ACC (N = 26) | Pre | 0.971 (0.100) | 0.964 (0.100) | 0.918 (0.200) |
| Post | 0.972 (0.100) | 0.972 (0.090) | 0.966 (0.100) | |
| ΔACC | 0.001 (0.020) | 0.008 (0.042) | 0.048 (0.151) | |
| Incongruent ACC (HE = 26; LE = 25; AC = 26) | Pre | 0.928 (0.100) | 0.900 (0.200) | 0.931 (0.100) |
| Post | 0.929 (0.100) | 0.904 (0.200) | 0.929 (0.100) | |
| ΔACC | 0.001 (0.083) | 0.004 (0.076) | −0.002 (0.140) | |
| One participant was excluded from the LE incongruent ACC cell after trimming because no valid responses remained. Accuracy is expressed as a proportion ranging from 0 to 1. ACC, accuracy; ΔACC, post-test minus pre-test; HE, high cognitively demanding exercise; LE, low cognitively demanding exercise; AC, active control. | ||||
