Abstract：Recent meta-analysis has evidenced the positive relationship between acute exercise and executive function. However, the effect may be moderated by exercise duration and intensity. The purpose of the current review is to integrate research about the dose-response relationship between acute exercise duration and intensity. After reviewing studies on duration dose-response, it was found that acute aerobic exercise done for 20 minutes has the greatest effects on the inhibitory executive function in a younger population. Results indicate that there are no intensity dose-response effects of acute exercise on the inhibitory executive function in a younger population. Regarding a study about acute exercise and event-related potentials, the review mentioned that acute exercise performed at light and moderate intensity has a positive influence on the brain's attention resource allocation. In addition to aerobic exercise, there are positive effects of acute resistance exercise on the inhibitory executive function in younger adults and the planning function in middle-aged adults; exercise done at moderate intensity evidences the greatest results for this population. In older adults, acute exercise done at light and moderate intensity facilitates stimulus evaluation time. Moreover, a dose-response was found in special populations in relation to executive functions following acute exercise, even when performed without intensity. The present review finally notes a shortage of prior research, and suggests that future research should consider the index of intensity, the sample size, the category of executive function, and the biochemical indicators.
