PG - 117152 LID - S1053-8119(20)30638-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117152 [doi] AB - There is a growing consensus regarding the positive relationship between physical function and working memory; however, explanations of task-evoked functional activity regarding this relationship and its differences in physical function domains remain controversial. This study illustrates the cross-sectional relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness, gait speed, hand dexterity, and muscular strength with working memory task (N-back task) performance and the mediating effects of task-evoked functional activity in 1033 adults aged between 22 and 37 years. The results showed that cardiorespiratory fitness and hand dexterity were independently associated with N-back task performance to a greater extent and in contrast to gait speed and muscular strength. These relationships were mediated by task-evoked functional activity in a part of the frontoparietal network (FPN) and default mode network (DMN). Superior cardiorespiratory fitness could contribute to working memory performance by enhancing the compensational role of FPN-related broader region activation. Hand dexterity was associated with moderation of the interaction in terms of task-evoked activation between the FPN and DMN, which in turn, improved N-back task performance. Based on these findings, we conclude that cardiorespiratory fitness and hand dexterity have common and unique mechanisms enhancing working memory. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 The Author(s).
