AB  - Acute exercise may enhance episodic memory recall, or the retrospective recall of an event or episode due to exercise-induced neuronal excitability and ensuing long-term potentiation. Of interest to this paper is the potential effects of acute exercise on memory interference, when the interfering stimuli occurs at the same time as the target stimuli. A three-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled intervention was employed. Participants (N=50) were randomized into one of three groups, including 1) Interference + Exercise, 2) Interference Only, and 3) Control (no interference and no exercise). The Interference component refers to the concurrent memory interference stimuli. The experimental conditions, although different for each group, included exercising at 70% of heart rate max, completing an online Sudoku puzzle during rest periods, completing a computerized Stroop task (word-color), listening to a pre-recorded 15-word list, and subsequently recalling the words after observing a 20-minute video clip. For the memory assessment, the Control condition (i.e., no interference and no exercise), had significantly higher immediate memory (7.76 words) when compared to the interference + Exercise (P=0.0003; 4.70 words) and Interference (P
