Moreover, potential differential effects in one’s "need forcognition" were investigated. Overall, 48 students (age = 25.35 ± 3.22 years, 50% female)participated in this balanced within-subjects design study. After measuring the maximumoxygen  uptake  capacity,  the  need  for  cognition,  and  other  background  variables,  thesubjects went through four experimental conditions: one sitting (low cognitive engagement),and three on a cycle-ergometer with an individualized intensity level (65% HRR) varying inthe  amount  of  cognitive  engagement  (low,  medium,  or  high).  During  the  20-minuteintervention,  cognitive  and  physical  exertion,  stress,  and  affect  were  measured  withquestionnaires. After a five-minute cool-down, a computer-based Stroop task was performedto  measure  executive  functioning.  ANOVAs  revealed  a  successful  manipulation  of  thecognitive challenge, with conditions differing both in induced stress and affective state.After controlling for the individual's need for cognition, a dose-response relation betweenthe cognitive challenge and cognitive performance was detected. People with a high needfor cognition benefit more from cognitively demanding physical activities than people with alow need for cognition. source: https://doi.org/10.7892/boris.134206 | downloaded: 31.10.2019source: https://doi.org/10.7892/boris.134206 | downloaded: 4.12.2019
