TLDR
The results demonstrated the independence between metabolic fatigue and visual capacity, and excluded coincidence/anticipation capacity.
Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of exercise to exhaustion on different components of visual capacity: visual field, and coincidence/anticipation capacity. 16 male subjects were first familiarized with the three visual tests, one day before being submitted to a prefatigue visual test. Metabolic fatigue was induced by working to exhaustion on a bicycle ergometer. Once fatigued, all subjects undertook the visual tests. Pre- and post-fatigue visual measurements were not significantly different. The results demonstrated the independence between metabolic fatigue and visual capacity.

The effects of acute exercise on cognitive performance: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The effects of acute exercise on cognitive performance are generally small; however, larger effects are possible for particular cognitive outcomes and when specific exercise parameters are used.

Effects of acute bouts of exercise on cognition.

TL;DR: It was concluded that submaximal aerobic exercise performed for periods up to 60 min facilitate specific aspects of information processing; however, extended exercise that leads to dehydration compromises both information processing and memory functions.

The effect of exercise-induced arousal on cognitive task performance: a meta-regression analysis.

TL;DR: Positive effects were observed following exercise regardless of whether the study protocol was designed to measure the effects of steady-state exercise, fatiguing exercise, or the inverted-U hypothesis, and cognitive performance was affected differentially by exercise mode.

The Influence of Physical Fitness and Exercise upon Cognitive Functioning: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analytic review was conducted that included all relevant studies with sufficient information for the calculation of effect size, and the overall effect size was 0.25, suggesting that exercise has a small positive effect on cognition.

Differential effects of differing intensities of acute exercise on speed and accuracy of cognition: A meta-analytical investigation

TL;DR: It was concluded that increased arousal during moderate intensity exercise resulted in faster speed of processing and the very limited effect on accuracy may be due to the failure to choose tests which are complex enough to measure exercise-induced changes in accuracy of performance.

Fatigue and Impairment In Man

TL;DR: The author states that one of her prime objectives was to supply the student with an introduction to the principles underlying the development of the fields embraced in the medical curriculum, and an opportunity to become familiar with those men who have contributed to the progress of medical sciences.

Effect of the Harvard Step Test on visual acuity.

TL;DR: A replication with 5 females in a laboratory setting of findings by Kashuk that physical activity improves visual acuity used the Harvard Step Test for the exercise load and grating acuity (resolution acuity) to determine possible changes.
