(a) Illustration of experimental setup for the second preliminary step: non-cortical physiological measurements. A laser Doppler probe was attached to the forehead to assess skin blood flow. (b) Results of non-cortical physiological parameters at baseline (set at 100%), during 10 min of moderate-intensity running and 20 min rest. Time points with a significant change compared to baseline are identified with asterisks (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett correction). All physiological variables fully returned to baseline within 15 min. Thus, fNIRS measurement was started 15 min after running to eliminate possible signal contamination. ETCO2 = End-tidal carbon dioxide; (c) Experimental design for control (CON) and running (RUN) sessions. CWST = color-word matching Stroop task, TDMS = Two-Dimensional Mood Scale, fNIRS = Functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
