Abstract

To investigate the effect of 12-week exercise on neurotrophic factors (BDNF, NGF and Stroop) in female college students. 16 healthy female college students from Z University were recruited to participate in this experimental study. The subjects were divided into control group (N= 8) and exercise group (N= 8). The sports group conducted 5 times a week (Monday to Friday), 60 minutes of sports training each time, The RPE levels ranged from 12 to 15. The exercise intervention program included: warm-up exercise (10 min), basic part (40min), and relaxation exercise (10min), Statistical analysis of the test data was performed using Two-way ANOVA with repeated measure. Results: 1) Changes in BDNF. At 2.23 ng/ml before exercise and 2.58 ng/ml after exercise, time and group interaction effect was significant (P <0.05), and serum BDNF concentration increased significantly before and after exercise (P <0.05); 2) NGF change. The group is 26.53pg/ml before exercise and 27.72pg/ml after exercise; 3) the change of Stroop score. As for Change in the Word test score，it was 60.42 before exercise and 70.12 after exercise, and the interaction effect of time and group was significant (P <0.05); Word test scores in the group increased significantly (P <0.05). As for change in Color test score, the group was 65.42 before exercise and 82.71 after exercise, the interaction effect between time and group was significant (P <0.05), and the group increased significantly (P <0.05. As for change in Word-Color test scores. The group was 61.12 before exercise and 68.37 after exercise. The interaction effect of time and group was significant (P <0.05), and the Word-Color test scores of the group before and after exercise increased significantly (P <0.05). 12 weeks of Xinyi Liuhequan exercise can have a positive intervention effect on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Stroop test results in female college students, therefore, Xinyi Liuhe Quan exercise is an effective prescription.
