Recent work has suggested that emotion regulation of inner emotional experience requires fewer cognitive resources for older adults than for young adults (Scheibe&Blanchard-Fields, 2009). The present study investigated whether cognitive costs are reduced for various types of emotion regulation strategies or only for certain types. The suppression of emotional expression, for example, is a particularly costly strategy for young adults, but little information exists regarding its cognitive costs for older adults. Furthermore, suppression of emotional expression is not a strategy that older adults are likely to use or that they become more effective at using. By contrast, the regulation of inner emotional experience has been shown to be more effective in older adults and presents less of a cognitive cost. The present study examined the cognitive costs of regulation of inner emotional experience (to conceptually replicate previous findings) and the cognitive costs of suppression of the outer expression of emotion. The results suggest that regulating and suppressing emotions do not require the same degree of resources for older and young adults. Whereas older adults may require more resources to suppress expression of emotions than to regulate emotions, young adults appear to require more resources to regulate emotions than to suppress the expression of emotions.

It has been suggested that children are less likely than adults to demonstrate a plateau in oxygen uptake (V02) at maximal exercise. However, there has been no direct comparison. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare boys and men in achievement of plateau as well as the secondary criteria for maximal effort: heart rate (HR), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and blood lactate (BLa). Seventeen boys (10.7 ±v 0.6 yrs) and 21 men (22.5 ± 2.0 yrs) completed a practice exercise test and a graded exercise test in order to determine VO2max and achievement of the criteria. The men also completed a second graded exercise test at a faster speed to determine if speed may affect plateau achievement. Comparisons indicated that, except for the BLa criterion, men and boys have similar rates of achievement. In addition, speed does not seem to play a role in criteria achievement. However, due to a small sample size, these results should be viewed with caution. / School of Physical Education
