| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系 === 103 === The purposes of this study were to compare the differences in executive control (reaction time and accurate rate of cognitive test) and heart rate variability (low-frequency power, LF;
high-frequency power, HF and LF/HF%) at single bout of 30-minutes walking, walking meditation
and resting conditions of college male students. There were 30 healthy but no regular exercise habit
male college students were recruited as the subjects and randomly assigned to control groups
(CG),walking group (WG) and walking-meditation group (WMG). Each subject had asked to the lab
twice for experimental explanation and practice and for testing. After 10 minutes of resting, each
subject had carried the polar monitor system to perform either 30-minutes resting, walking, or walking
meditation (focus on relaxation, step touching and counting.) The walking intensity was moderate
(with 12-14 at 6-20 rate of perceived exertion). After 15 minutes of experimental activities, the subject
was received the auditory Go/No-go test and Sternberg working memory task and the collected data
were analzed with one way ANOVA and repeated- mixed ANOVA. Results: 1, The reaction time of
WMG was faster than that of WG and CG and WG was faster than CG, but all not significant
(p>.05).2,The numbers of accurate response of WMG was significantly higher than CG (p<.05) and
WG was higher than CG. 3, The LF % of WMG and WG was significantly higher than CG after
exercise (p<.05) . 4, The HF% of WMG and WG was lower than CG,but not significant (p>.05).
5, The LF/HF of WMG and WG was significantly higher than that of CG group during exercise and
after exercise (p<.05). Conclusions: The 30 minutes of walking meditation improve part of cognitive
function and the 30 minutes walking and walking meditation have changed the automatic nerve
function.
