Experimental design. The study comprised pre-test, intervention or control condition, and post-test sessions. Pre-test: Participants completed a behavioral measurement that included demographic information, physical activity rating scale, and emotional measurement, followed by an MRI scan that consisted of two 10-minute phases of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rest1 and rest2) and a T1-weighted structural MRI. The intervention condition was a 30-minute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer, during which heart rate and Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion were monitored. Post-test: Participants repeated the emotional measurements and the 10-minute rfMRI scan (rest3).
