About the study
The aim of the study is to explore the effects of different exercise and non-exercise interventions on cognitive performance during exercise. Participating in the research involves completing a graded exercise test and performing cognitive tests during exercise while your brain activity is recorded using electroencephalography (EEG). Research outcomes could provide insight into effective strategies to improve cognitive function in athletes and populations who rely on high cognitive performance under conditions of physical exertion (e.g. defence force personnel and first responders).
