Description
Background and aims
Acute physical activity (PA) has a positive effect on executive functions (EFs). However, the influence of social interaction (SoI) during PA has been largely overlooked. Since many PAs occur in a social context, understanding the role of SoI is crucial for designing ecologically valid interventions that maximize EFs benefits. Therefore, this study systematically examines the effects of acute PA and SoI on core EFs.
