About this trial
Researchers invite participants to volunteer to participate in this cross-sectional, interventional study. This research examines the effects of 8-week aerobic exercise of different intensities combining synchronized music on psychology, attention, and executive function among Chinese college students, and also validates the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Brief College Student Hassles Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale for Medical Students, Brief Multidimensional Students'Life Satisfaction Scale, Positive Thinking Skills Scale, Attentional Function Index, Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student and Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome-College version, providing a research basis for aerobic exercise to improve the cognitive function and mental health level of Chinese college students. Participants will be invited to participate in the intervention study, in which participants will be assigned to the intervention group and control group. Participation in this study will last approximately 8 weeks for a total of 24 sessions, 40 minutes each session, and participants will not be forced to participate in this study if they do not wish to. This study will include up to 134 participants who will be assigned to the intervention and control groups in a randomized manner.

Brain functional connectivity
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Using fNIRS to observe the brain functional connectivity. The fNIRS device used in this experiment was a portable Nir Smart \[two wavelengths: 760 and 850 nm, 16 channels (eight light sources and eight detectors); Danyang Huichuang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., Danyang, China\]. According to the 10-20 international standard lead system, the fNIRS helmet was placed on the head of the participant such that the light poles covered the left and right prefrontal areas of the brain, including eight channels of each of the left and right prefrontal lobes (3 × 4 array of emitter and detection light poles).
