Study Summary

This study will examine the acute effects of high intensity interval ergometry on peripheral concentrations of lactate and hydrogen ions, as well as cognitive function. Approximately 60 healthy, college-aged males will participate in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), a measure of executive function, two times over a span of two weeks. Prior to the WCST, participants will complete either a warm-up, a warm-up and high intensity interval exercise, or a stationary period. Changes in lactate, pH, and WCST score will be evaluated between and within groups in relation to the presence of the high intensity exercise stimulus.

Primary Outcome

Lactate is known to increase during exercise. At each time frame, \~15mL of blood will be sampled from a subject via intravenous catheter. From this sample, blood will be analyzed for lactate using a YSI2300.
