Active Comparator: high intensity exercise
high intensity exercise on a treadmill according to Balke's Protocol. high intensity of exercises for each group of 15 participants were set at 80-85% VO2 max (Schneider, S., et al., 2009). To determine the targeted HR for low and high intensity aerobic exercise for each participant, the needed VO2 max percentages were subbed into the Swain equation as follows: %VO2 max = (%HRmax - 37)/0.64 Exercise HR/HRmax = %HRmax After rearrangement, it will be: %HRmax = %VO2 max x 0.64 + 37 Exercise HR = %HRmax x HRmax During the experimental session, each participant performed physical exercise training on the treadmill according to Balke's Protocol. The reliability of this protocol was tested by Leddy, et. al. (2011). |
first, Verbal Memory task was completed by each participant.
Participant then started walking on the treadmill at either a speed of 3.0 mph (4.8 km/h) for sedentary individuals or 3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) for active individuals with grade 0% (Hanson, 1984).
This was followed by an increase in grade of 2% for every 2 mins with the speed remaining constant until targeted HR was reached.
A heart rate (HR) monitor (POLAR®) was used to measure HR throughout the test and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was done at the end of every 2 min stage.
Exercise was stopped as soon as participant reaches targeted HR or requests to stop because of fatigue or any discomfort.
Participant was then given time to cool down until HR reached or fell below 120 bpm and was allowed to take a break for approximately 1 min before proceeding with the second set of Verbal Memory Task.
Upon completing the memory test, the participant was allowed to leave

Active Comparator: low intensity exercise
low intensity exercise on a treadmill according to Balke's Protocol. low intensity of exercises for each group of 15 participants were set at 50-55% VO2 max (Schneider, S., et al., 2009). To determine the targeted HR for low and high intensity aerobic exercise for each participant, the needed VO2 max percentages were subbed into the Swain equation as follows: %VO2 max = (%HRmax - 37)/0.64 Exercise HR/HRmax = %HRmax After rearrangement, it will be: %HRmax = %VO2 max x 0.64 + 37 Exercise HR = %HRmax x HRmax During the experimental session, each participant performed physical exercise training on the treadmill according to Balke's Protocol.
