abstract = {Purpose: In contrast to other aspects of executive
functions, acute exercise-induced alterations in planning
are poorly investigated. While only few studies report
improved planning performances after exercise, even less is
known about their time course after exhaustive exercise.
Methods: One hundred and nineteen healthy adults performed
the Tower of London (ToL) task at baseline, followed by a
graded exercise test (GXT). Participants were subsequently
randomized into one of four groups (immediately, 30, 60, and
90 min after the GXT) to repeat the ToL. Main outcomes of
the ToL were planning (number of tasks completed in the
minimum number of moves), solutions (correct responses
independent of the given number of moves) as well as
thinking times (time between presentation of each problem
and first action) for tasks with varying difficulty (four-,
five,- and six-move problems). Blood lactate levels were
analyzed as a potential mediator. Results: No effect of
exercise on planning could be detected. In contrast to
complex problem conditions, median thinking times
deteriorated significantly in the immediately after GXT
tested group in less challenging problem conditions
(four-move problems: p = 0.001, F = 5.933, df = 3; five-move
problems: p = 0.005, F = 4.548, df = 3). Decreased lactate
elimination rates were associated with impaired median
thinking times across all groups ΔMTT4-6 (p = 0.001, r =
-0.309), ΔMTT4 (p < 0.001, r = -0.367), and ΔMTT5 (p =
0.001, r = -0.290). Conclusion: These results suggest that
planning does not improve within 90 min after exhaustive
exercise. In line with previous research, revealing a
negative impact of exhaustive exercise on memory and
attention, our study extends this knowledge of
exercise-induced alterations in cognitive functioning as
thinking times as subcomponents of planning are negatively
affected immediately after exercise. This is further
associated with peripheral lactate levels.},
