Although cognitively demanding exercise has been proposed to enhance inhibitory control, findings regarding the effects of varying cognitive demand remain inconsistent. This study examined the acute effects of exercises with different cognitive demands on inhibitory control in children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-six children (Mage = 11.8, SD = 0.5) completed three exercise conditions in a randomized crossover design: high cognitively demanding exercise (HE), low cognitively demanding exercise (LE), and active control (AC). Inhibitory control was assessed using the Flanker task. Change scores in reaction time, accuracy, and Flanker effect were analyzed, and exploratory distributional analyses were conducted using conditional accuracy functions and delta plots.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Reaction time and accuracy did not differ across exercise conditions (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;gt; 0.05). However, the reduction in Flanker effect was greater following AC than LE (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04,\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      = \u22120.81). No statistically significant condition-related differences were detected in the exploratory distributional indices (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;gt; 0.05); these analyses should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, these findings suggest that exercises with higher cognitive demand may not yield greater benefits to inhibitory control than lower-demanding exercises under the higher-than-intended physical intensity elicited in the present protocol. Future studies should consider children\u2019s limited physical and cognitive resources when designing interventions to optimize the potential synergistic effects of cognitively demanding exercise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1879513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T04:47:30Z","timestamp":1791348450000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of single bout exercise with different cognitive demands on inhibitory control in elementary school children"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Chen","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiung-Ling","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Lin","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting-Yu","family":"Chueh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Master\u2019s Program of Transition and Leisure Education for Individuals with Disabilities, University of Taipei","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsung-Min","family":"Hung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]},{"name":"Institute for Research Excellence in Learning Science, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]},{"name":"Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability Executive Master of Business Administration, National Taiwan Normal University","place":["Taipei, Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"729","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaac.2017.06.012","article-title":"The effect of physical activity interventions on children\u2019s cognition and metacognition: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"56","author":"\u00c1lvarez-Bueno","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
