The 16th ISSP World Congress: Acute Resistance Exercise and Inhibitory Control
Ying-Chu Chen participated in the 16th ISSP World Congress held at the Hong Kong Sports Institute. In this congress, he delivered an oral presentation titled 'The Influence of Acute Resistance Exercise Volume on Inhibitory Control: A Randomized Controlled Trial,' sharing findings on how volume-matched resistance exercise intensities affect cognitive performance.

Acute effects of two different combined exercise modalities on executive function and circulating neurotrophic factors in young healthy adults
This study examined how two acute combined exercise modalities—resistance exercise plus continuous or intermittent aerobic exercise—affect executive function and neurotrophic factor levels in young men. Improvements in Stroop test performance and increases in BDNF, HGH, and IGF-1 were observed, especially after the intermittent aerobic condition.

Acute effects of resistance exercise intensity and repetition at a predetermined volume on inhibitory control:a randomized controlled trial
This randomized controlled trial investigated the acute effects of resistance exercise (RE) intensity and repetition—under matched volume—on inhibitory control (IC). Seventy-eight young adults were assigned to moderate-intensity (60% 1RM, 3×10), low-intensity (30% 1RM, 3×20), or control (reading). Stroop Task performance revealed significantly better IC in both exercise groups (MI: p = .026; LI: p = .040) vs. control, with no difference between MI and LI. Blood lactate increased significantly post-exercise in both RE groups. Results indicate that RE enhances IC regardless of intensity when volume is controlled.
