有氧锻炼不仅能提高身体健康,也能改善脑的执行控制功能。有氧锻炼有助于降低执行控制功能老化,提高老人的认知抑制和冲突控制能力;有氧锻炼也有益于儿童的执行控制功能的发展,有氧锻炼更多或有氧体能更好的儿童有更好的执行控制能力。进一步的研究需要考察运动和其他生活因素如饮食干预、神经生长以及社会互动等因素对执行控制的交互作用,同时控制强度、频率和持续时间等变量对执行控制的影响.以达到更好的锻炼效果。
Aerobic exercise might not only improve physical health, but might also improve executive control and brain function. A growing body of research has detailed the beneficial relation of aerobic exercise and neurocognition. Here, we review the relevant findings on the influence of aerobic exercise on executive function. Overall, the extant literature suggests that aerobic exercise might influence the aging of brain function, serving to delay typical age-related declines in executive control. Similar to adults, aerobic exercise might facilitates children's executive function, leading to enhanced scholastic performance and greater overall effective functioning. Aerobic fitness level even might predict executive function over time. Given the problems occurred in this field, we critically concluded with a discussion of the gap in the literature and suggestions for future research.
