Objective: Recent studies indicate that acute exercise, whether aerobic exercise (AE) or resistance exercise (RE), improves cognitive function. However, the effects on cognitive function of combined exercise (CE), involving both AE and RE in an exercise session, remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute CE on cognitive function. Design: Within-subject design with counterbalancing. Methods: Fifteen healthy men with a sedentary lifestyle in the previous three months were recruited. The participants were assessed for muscular fitness after performing four upper body exercises for a 10-repetition maximum and underwent a submaximal aerobic fitness assessment for V̇O2peak and corresponding workload (watts). They were then assigned to a CE, RE, or sitting control (SC) session in counterbalanced order and were assessed with the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) after each session. Results: Acute CE led to a significantly shorter response time compared to SC (p < .05) in the SCWT, wherein there were no significant differences between acute CE and RE (p = 1.00). Additionally, no significant differences in the accuracy rate were observed across the different sessions (ps > .05). Conclusion: A single session of moderate-intensity CE improved response time in the SCWT, comparable to RE. CE shows promise for enhancing cognitive function, warranting further research on its benefits and other exercise modalities. Keywords: Combined Exercise; Executive Function; Inhibition Control; Interference effect; Stroop Color World Test.

Recent studies indicated that low back pain (LBP) might be more common among people who are not physically fit. Weak lower back, abdominal muscle, and core muscle may not properly support the spine. Especially those weekend warriors —people who go out and exercise a lot after being inactive all week—are more likely to suffer LBP than people who make moderate physical activity a daily habit. How to improve overall core strength ? This book might be the answer!

How can exercise science professionals develop better tactical strength and conditioning program for the tactical athletes? It may not be easy to achieve in short period of time instead of going through the mill. With the promotion of government and exercise science professionals, it will definitely lead to great success!

It’s my honor to be one of translators for the remarkable exercise science book ***NSCA’s Essentials of Sport Science*** in traditional Chinese version. As we all know, the sport scientist’s role is central throughout, including knowledge of training theory, determining and evaluating key performance indicators, conducting athlete monitoring and assessments, and managing and disseminating complex performance information. In addition, the integration of scientific methodology and applied technical skills will guide sport scientists in drawing conclusions aimed at supporting or re-envisioning training methods, contributing towards competition strategy, and improving athletes’ overall readiness and performance. Due to those benefits mentioned above, as an exercise science and sport science professional, it's the indispensable book that you should have.
