Group effect
First, considering that each EF variable was analyzed for each group, it is suitable to apply Bonferroni correction and consider significant results when Group effects in executive functions. Basketball group significantly improved in working memory, Stroop part 3 and interference score, and the reaction time in flanker task incongruent part. Fitness group (AER+R) significantly improved in cognitive flexibility (note that in trail making test, less is better), and the reaction time in both congruent and incongruent parts of the flanker task. Control group significantly worsened in the accuracy of the flanker task in the congruent and incongruent trials but improved in the reaction time of the neutral part.
