The effect of maximal exercse on cerebral oxygenation.

PROBLEM: Expanding knowledge of how the brain responds to various exercise types may allow for investigation and development of individualized methods of concussion management.
PURPOSE: Identify differences in cerebral oxygenation recovery following bouts of maximal anaerobic, resistance and aerobic exercise.
METHODS: Twenty-eight active adults were recruited, each partaking in two sessions. At the first, anthropometric measures and leg press 1-RM were determined. During the second session, cerebral oxygenation and ventilatory gas exchange variables were recorded while participants completed maximal anaerobic, resistance, and aerobic tests, and for 15-minutes of recovery.
RESULTS: Anaerobic (637.41s ± 330.42s) and aerobic (689.29s ± 311.05s) exercise resulted in longer durations of time to return to baseline compared to resistance (363.07s ± 366.34s).
CONCLUSION: Anaerobic and aerobic exercise taking longer than resistance to return to baseline indicates prolonged activity. Expecting equivalent outcomes as concussion management tools from differing exercise methods may be misguided and requires additional research. / February 2017
