Investigated the relationship among aging, attentional processes, and exercise in 2 experiments. First, age differences were examined on 2 attentional tasks: a time-sharing task and an attentional flexibility task. Young adults alternated attention between 2 sequenced tasks more rapidly and time-shared the processing of 2 tasks more efficiently than older adults. Then the effect of aerobic exercise was investigated on the same 2 attentional tasks in older adults. Following the 10-wk exercise program, older exercisers showed substantially more improvement in alternation speed and time-sharing efficiency than older controls. Interestingly, this exercise effect was specific to dual-task processing. Both groups of Ss showed equivalent effects on single-task performance. These results indicate that aerobic exercise can exert a beneficial influence on the efficiency of at least 2 different attentional processes in older adults.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
