Delta-plot slopes by segment and condition.

Panel A. Descriptive statistics
Variable	HE, M (SD) (N = 25)	LE, M (SD) (N = 25)	AC, M (SD) (N = 25)
Segment 1 (Slope1–2)	6.99 (13.43)	6.93 (14.21)	2.38 (15.16)
Segment 2 (Slope2–3)	0.03 (13.10)	−2.58 (13.76)	0.12 (14.49)
Segment 3 (Slope3–4)	0.99 (17.90)	−2.24 (15.48)	−0.30 (14.50)
Segment 4 (Slope4–5)	−1.61 (19.39)	−5.42 (17.20)	−4.09 (27.73)
One participant was excluded from the LE incongruent RT cell after trimming because no valid responses remained. Values are means (standard deviations). Slopes are expressed in milliseconds and represent changes in the Flanker effect between consecutive reaction time bins. HE, high cognitively demanding exercise; LE, low cognitively demanding exercise; AC, active control.
