Effects of Acute Rope Skipping Exercises on Executive Function of College Students
Objective:This study aimed to examine the effects of different types of rope skipping exercises on executive functions in college students.Methods:A total of 32 participants were recruited and the study used a three-factor within-subject design.The independent variable was intervention type(sedentary,basic jump rope,and fancy rope skipping),while the dependent variables included measures of executive functions:inhibition,shifting,and updating.Results:(1)Rope skipping interventions improved inhibition function,as evidenced by the smaller reaction time difference in the Stroop task for the fancy rope skipping group compared to both the basic rope skipping group and the sedentary group,with the basic rope skipping group also outperforming the sedentary group.(2)Rope skipping interventions also enhanced shifting function,with both the fancy and basic rope skipping groups showing smaller reaction time differences in the More-Odd shifting task compared to the sedentary group.(3)However,rope skipping interventions did not significantly affect updating function,as there were no notable differences in reaction times or accuracy in the N-back task across the groups.Conclusion:In summary,30 minutes of rope skipping exercise can enhance inhibition and shifting functions in college students,with fancy rope skipping providing a greater benefit for inhibition function compared to basic rope skipping.However,it does not significantly impact updating func-tion.
