abstract = {Accumulating evidence shows that acute resistance exercises
and long-term resistance training positively influence
cognitive functions, but the underlying mechanisms have been
rarely investigated. One explanatory approach assumes that
the execution of resistance exercises requires higher
cognitive processes which, in turn, lead to an 'indirect'
training of higher cognitive functions. However, current
knowledge on the engagement of higher cognitive functions
during the execution of resistance exercises is relatively
sparse. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine to
what extent cognitive resources are needed to perform a
resistance exercise in the form of barbell back
squatting.Twenty-four young adults performed a cognitive
task (serial subtraction of 7's) during standing and during
barbell back squatting on a Smith machine. The total number
and the number of correct responses were analyzed and taken
as indicators of the cognitive load imposed by the
experimental condition (squatting) and the control condition
(standing). Additionally, participants' perceived exertion,
mean heart rate, and the number of squats they were able to
perform were assessed.While accuracy scores were found not
to be significantly different between conditions, the
numbers of total and of correct responses were significantly
lower during squatting than during standing. Additionally,
during squatting a higher number of total answers was given
in the fifth set compared to the first set. We attribute
this phenomenon to a learning effect. Furthermore, there was
no statistically significant correlation between cognitive
measures and perceived exertion.Results suggest that
perceived exertion cannot explain the higher dual-task costs
observed during squatting. They rather reflect that more
cognitive resources are needed to perform low-load barbell
back squats than during standing. However, further research
is necessary to confirm and generalize these findings.},
