Aggregated Effects Of Combining Daily Milk Consumption And Aerobic Exercise On Short-Term Memory And Sustained Attention Among Female Students
Summary .— Regular aerobic exercise and milk consumption have been found to have positive eff ects on certain cognitive functions such as short-term memory and sustained attention. However, aggregated eff ects of combining these modalities
have not been explored. This study examined the combined eff ects of milk supplementation and aerobic exercise on the short-term memory and sustained attention of female students aged 16 yr. ( N = 81). The intervention involved serving
of 250 ml of regular milk during school days and/or a 1-hr. aerobic exercise period twice per week for 6 weeks. The Digit Span Test and Digit Vigilance Test were used to measure short-term memory and sustained attention, respectively. The combination group (milk and exercise) and exercise group performed signifi cantly better than did the milk and control groups in terms of short-term memory. No signifi cant interaction or group diff erences were found for sustained attention. The results suggest benefi ts of regular exercise for students’ short-term memory.
