Yes 1 "The task-switching task measures speed of response when the same task is repeated compared with when a different task follows. Participants see numbers in front of a blue or pink square. If the background is blue, the participant keys whether the number is lower or higher than 5. If the background is pink the participant keys whether the number is odd or even. The same keys (left and right sides of keyboard) are used on each task, so the participant has to mentally re-assign the keys every time the task is changed. The test measures relative speed of response for same task or switched task." Yes 2 Yes "Exercise improves cognition by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the brain, by integrating physical processes and by improving mood (positive moods are associated with more higher executive brain function)." The affect of exercise on cognition is slow and indirect. Any type of sustained exercise will improve cognition substantially over a period of years.
