Study Summary

The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on neurophysiological indices of emotion regulation and cognitive control in individuals with clinically significant PTSD symptoms. In this proposed study, 65 adult females with clinically significant PTSD symptoms will be randomized into two groups: a 20-minute moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise group, or a 20-minute silent sitting control group. Prior to and following the exercise/sitting session, participants will complete a letter flanker task and an emotion regulation picture viewing task while their electrical brain activity is continuously recorded via electroencephalogram (EEG). Utilizing a multimodal assessment approach, cognitive control will be measured using behavioral (i.e., accuracy, reaction time) and neurophysiology (i.e., P300, error-related negativity; ERN). Emotion regulation will be measured using self-reported and neurophysiological indices of emotional reactivity (i.e., late positive potential; LPP).

Primary Outcome

Participants will be presented with a series of negative high arousing and neutral low-arousing images from the International Affective Picture System. Prior to being presented with each image, participants will be cued to either passively view the upcoming image or to use reappraisal to "reinterpret aspects of the upcoming image in order to adopt a more neutral or positive perspective." During the emotion regulation task, "online" emotional arousal during reappraisal and passive view trials wil
