Electroencephalography in Physical Activity and Fitness Research for Brain Health： A Systematic, Methodology-Focused Review

Le résumé fourni par la source

This project is a systematic, methodology-focused review of electroencephalography (EEG) in physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) research for brain health. The review will map current EEG acquisition, preprocessing, analysis, and reporting practices in studies targeting cognition, mental health, and behavior-related outcomes. It will include acute exercise studies, chronic exercise interventions, and observational PA/PF studies, while distinguishing resting-state, task-evoked, during-exercise, immediate post-exercise, and delayed post-exercise EEG assessments. The review will also evaluate how consistently key methodological elements are reported and identify where variation in research practice appears justified by paradigm constraints, such as mobile versus seated testing or during- versus post-exercise assessment. The synthesis will be qualitative and structured rather than a meta-analysis because the primary aim is to characterize methodological practice, identify reporting gaps, and highlight priorities for future harmonization.
