The purpose of this study was to explore the effect acute exercise on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test with different intensities. Sixty college students voluntarily participated in study, and randomly assigned into control, low, moderate high intensity groups. All participants were instructed perform while performing indices Test, including Number Categories Completed, Perseverative Responses, Percent Conceptual Level Responses Failure Maintain Set scores recorded. These represented working memory, problem solving attention. results from revealed that participants' Completed significantly reduced exercise, no differences found low In addition, difference noticed all Our findings concluded memory impaired during but not affected performance. Furthermore, attention To sum up, supported transient hypofrontality theory, whereas, prefrontal oxygenation, cerebral metabolic ratio fitness able clarify intensities for stable cognitive performances young students.
