U.S., Sept. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07837661) titled 'Prefrontal Hemodynamics and Working Memory After Exhaustive Aquatic Exercise' on Sept. 18.
Brief Summary: This study compared prefrontal cortex hemodynamics and working memory performance following exhaustive aquatic exercise between endurance athletes and physically active individuals. Twenty-two healthy male participants aged 18-30 years, including 10 endurance athletes and 12 physically active controls, completed an incremental stepping exercise to exhaustion during head-out water immersion. The exercise was performed on a 20-cm step at xiphoid-level water depth, with cadence beginning at 18 steps/min and increasing by 2 steps/m...
