Accumulating research provides suggestive evidence that acute aerobic exercise may, potentially, enhance episodic memory function post-exercise. Limited research has evaluated whether acute resistance exercise may also enhance episodic memory post-exercise. Further, whether these two exercise modalities have a differential effect on post-exercise episodic memory is relatively unknown. To address these research questions, three experimental studies were conducted (N=104) among young adults (18-25 yrs). The experiments implemented acute bouts of aerobic or resistance exercise for 15 minutes. Episodic memory was comprehensively evaluated post-exercise with a list-learning paradigm and a computerized assessment of what-where-when aspects of episodic memory. Various manipulations (e.g., between vs. within-group) of the study design were implemented across the experiments. Across these three experiments, we failed to find consistent evidence of either type of acute exercise affecting episodic memory performance post-exercise.

越来越多的研究提供了提示性证据，表明急性有氧运动可能会增强运动后的情景记忆功能。有限的研究评估了急性抗阻运动是否也可以增强运动后的情景记忆。此外，这两种运动方式是否对运动后情景记忆有不同的影响还相对未知。为了解决这些研究问题，在年轻人（18-25 岁）中进行了三项实验研究（N=104）。实验实施了 15 分钟的有氧或抗阻运动的急性发作。使用列表学习范式和对情景记忆的何时何地方面的计算机化评估，在运动后对情景记忆进行了全面评估。各种操作（例如，在与 研究设计的组内）在整个实验中实施。在这三个实验中，我们未能找到一致的证据表明任何一种类型的急性运动都会影响运动后的情景记忆表现。
