Abstrakt: The influence of acute exercise on information processing in the central nervous system (CNS) of children and adults were investigated using reaction time and P300 eventrelated potentials. Seventeen children (11.1 ± 0.9 years) and ten adults (25.6 ± 3.4 years) performed an oddball task before and after twenty minutes of pedaling exercise. Heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) recorded every minute during exercise between children and adult did not significantly differ. Compared to that before exercise, children's P300 amplitude increased after exercise, while the adults' P300 amplitude did not change. These results suggested that the amount of attentional resources allocated to the oddball task after twenty minute of pedaling exercise increased only in children. It is concluded that the influence of acute exercise on information processing in the CNS of children was more sensitive than that in adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
