The Effects of Chronic Exercise on Attentional Networks.

To do this, we compared the performance of physically active and passive participants in the Attentional Network Task, which allows for the assessment of the executive, orienting and alerting networks. The results showed a selective positive effect of exercise on the executive network. These results extend the evidence gathered in children, older adults and certain clinical populations suggesting that exercise can also improve attentional control in healthy young adults.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Executive FunctionMaleTime FactorsYoung AdultAdultFemaleHumansNerve NetAttentionExerciseresearch articleAttribution 3.0 Unported2501005797e10147810.1371/journal.pone.0101478PloS Oneopen accessEjercicio FísicoAtenciónHumanosAdulto JovenRed NerviosaFactores de TiempoFemeninoAdultoFunción EjecutivaMasculino2-s2.0-84904250157338763800026L373524452
