Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To examine whether acute, transient exercises with intensities greater than walking can affect divergent and convergent creative thinking. To investigate what characteristics of the study subjects regulate this effect.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Evaluation by creative thinking test. Specifically, in the analysis of the main evaluation, the change in creative thinking before and after the intervention is compared between the exercise intervention group and the control intervention group.
For the evaluation of divergent thinking, we will employ the Alternative Uses Test; for the evaluation of convergent thinking, we will employ insight problem-solving tests.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Comparison of mood evaluation by visual analog scale immediately after each intervention in the exercise intervention group and the control intervention group
2) Whether the effects of exercise intervention are affected by personal characteristics such as mental status and cognitive functions
3) The relationship between creative thinking evaluated before exercise intervention and other personal characteristics
4) Relationships among other personal characteristics

Interventions/Control_1

Exercise intervention: Using the exercise program based on the "physical fitness test program" of an exercise bike (Fukuda Denshi Wellbike BE-260). The program includes 10 minutes of exercise and 5 minutes of cooldown. Under this program, the pedal load increases 4 and 7 minutes after the start of the program, and the maximum oxygen intake, which is an index of aerobic ability, is estimated from the change in the pulse rate with respect to the pedal load.

Interventions/Control_2

Controlled intervention: A reading session lasts about 15 minutes, in which subjects are asked to read a set of material on "the effect of exercise on the brain" while quietly seated.

Results

Exercise enhanced divergent thinking, more specifically, flexibility and fluency but not novelty. These effects were not mediated by the post-exercise mood. In contrast, the effect on convergent thinking depended on subjects' mood after exercise, subjects reporting high vigor tended to solve more insight problems that were unsolved previously, while those reporting low vigor became less capable of solving previously unsolved problems.
