The effect of aerobic exercise on attentional functions and its physiological mechanism at high altitude

Chengzhi Wang, Shan Li

Abstract


High altitude can negatively aff ect attentional functions, and whether exercise, as an eff ective means to improve attentional
functions in the plain, can also be applied to high altitude has attracted attention from researchers. A large number of studies have shown
that exercise at high altitude aff ects attentional functions, and the degree of infl uence is related to altitude level, task type, exercise intensity
and individual diff erences. Neurotrophic factor theory and brain oxygenation theory have been used to explain the eff ect of exercise on
attentional functions.

Keywords
