Test outcomes were assessed after each trial. The results showed that 30-min exercise have better performance in terms of response time and accuracy under either consistent conditions or inconsistent conditions. No significant differences were found among other three exercise. In conclusion, 30-min acute exercise has generated positive effect on interference control, which supports the advice of American College of Sports Medicine that adults should at least exercise 30 minutes a day. Future research could focus different age groups, executive function types, gender or other assessment like event-related potential (ERP).
