Effects of exercise during breaks on biometric information related to concentration

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the improvement of concentration and inactivity through exercise in an office work situation. The purpose of this is to divide long hours of work into short periods of time, and to exercise in between, so that the lack of exercise and concentration could be improved. Evaluation was made by analyzing the percentage of correct answers to the calibration task and biometric information. The results of the experiment showed no significant trend in biometric information, however there was an increasing trend in the percentage of correct answers for the condition with exercise in the two combinations of the two conditions. Therefore, it is suggested that divided into short periods of time and doing exercise when work that takes a long time may help you to maintain a higher level of concentration than with continuous work.
