  1. This table records the reaction time and accuracy during the numerical Stroop task, which includes the congruent and incongruent conditions, and the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) verifies statistical significance for age group (Age), exercise periods (Exercise), and their interaction (Group: Exercise). (*: 0.01 < p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01).
