Table 1 Statistical key figures of the flanker task-related dependent variables. Only the values for Time × Condition interactions are shown. AC = active control, AE = aerobic exercise, RA = Response accuracy, RT = Reaction time

From: Prefrontal high definition cathodal tDCS modulates executive functions only when coupled with moderate aerobic exercise in healthy persons
