Abstract
Resistance exercise has been demonstrated to improve brain function. However, the optimal workout characteristics are a matter of debate. This randomized, controlled trial aimed to elucidate differences between free-weight (RE) and machine-based (RE) training with regard to their ability to acutely enhance cognitive performance (CP). A total of = 46 healthy individuals (27 ± 4 years, 26 men) performed a 45-min bout of RE (military press, barbell squat, bench press) or RE (shoulder press, leg press, chest press). Pre- and post-intervention, CP was examined using the Stroop test, Trail Making Test and Digit Span test. Mann-Whitney U tests did not reveal between-group differences for performance in the Digit Span test, Trail Making test and the color and word conditions of the Stroop test ( > 0.05). However, RE was superior to RE in the Stroop color-word condition (+6.3%, = 0.02, R = 0.35). Additionally, RE elicited pre-post changes in all parameters except for the Digit Span test and the word condition of the Stroop test while RE only improved cognitive performance in part A of the Trail Making test. Using free weights seems to be the more effective RE method to acutely improve cognitive function (i.e., inhibitory control). The mechanisms of this finding merit further investigation.
