60 healthy male university students will be included in this study. Physical fitness parameters, fluid intelligence, and physical activity level will be measured at baseline. Participants will be randomised to one of two testing schedules, groups will complete either a 30-minutes aerobic exercise session or a resting control condition. Cognitive measures (simple reaction time task, go/nogo task, spatial cueing, n-back task) will be tested before and after the intervention.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exercise Group | Experimental | 30-minutes moderate-intensity aerobic exercise will be performed according to ACSM guidelines |
|
| Control Group | No Intervention | 30-minutes video screening while sitting |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aerobic exercise | Other | 30-minutes aerobic exercise intervention on the bicycle ergometer. The exercise protocol includes 5 minutes of warm-up, 20 minutes of loading and 5 minutes of cool-down. The intensity of the exercise will be adjusted to be between 46% and 63% of the VO2max calculated according to the exercise programming guide published by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the perceived effort level on the Borg scale will be 12-13. Warm-up and cool-down periods will be set to 46% of VO2max and Borg perceived exertion level below 9. |

| Change in psychomotor rate | Simple reaction time task | Baseline and 30 mins after baseline |
| Change in visual inspection and attention | Spatial cueing |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
