Abstract
This study aimed to identify the association between cardiopulmonary exercise and neurological activation through measuring dictation accuracy and the extent of spatial perception. First of all, body composition of subjects were analyzed to verify their physical intactness. Then the subjects were given treadmill exercise using modified Bruce protocol. Before and after the treadmill exercise, spatial perception test and dictation task with auditory and visual stimulation were carried out to identify the changes in neurological activation. The Scores of spatial perception after treadmill exercise were higher than those before treadmill exercise (p <0.05). The accuracy of post‐treadmill dictation task with auditory stimulation was decreased compared to that of pre‐treadmill dictation task. Likewise, accuracy of post‐treadmill dictation task with visual stimulation was significantly decreased compared to that of pre‐treadmill dictation task (p <0.05). However, speed of post‐treadmill dictation task with visual stimulation was significantly increased compared to that of pre‐treadmill dictation task (p <0.05). In this study, typing accuracy and spatial perception were assessed to identify alteration of neurological activation following treadmill exercise. Unlike improved spatial perception, typing accuracy was reduced due interference of upper body motions with arm stability during treadmill exercise. In this study, spatial perception and speed of visual dictation was increased. Therefore, cardiovascular fitness exercise was proved to increase neurological activation by accelerating typing speed and spatial perception.Support or Funding InformationNRF‐2017R1A2A2A01067169, KGM4611821, 2016 Creative Research Program of Inje University, Republic of KoreaThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
