Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise-Cognition Interaction: Neuroscience Perspectives is the only book on the market that examines the neuroscientific correlation between exercise and cognitive functioning. The upsurge in research in recent years has confirmed that cognitive-psychology theory cannot account for the effects of exercise on cognition, and both acute and chronic exercise effect neurochemical and psychophysiological changes in the brain that, in turn, affect cognitive functioning. This book provides an overview of the research into these effects, from theoretical research through current studies that emphasize neuroscientific theories and rationales. It addition, users will find a thorough examination of the effects of exercise interventions on cognitive functioning in special populations, including the elderly, children, and those suffering from a variety of diseases, including schizophrenia, diabetes, and an array of neurological disorders. With contributions from leading researchers in the field, this book will be the go-to resource for neuroscientists, psychologists, medical professionals, and other researchers who need an understanding of the role exercise plays in cognitive functioning. Provides a comprehensive account of how exercise affects brain functioning, which in turn affects cognition Covers both theory and empirical research Presents a thorough examination of the effects of exercise interventions on cognitive functioning in special populations, including the elderly, children, and those suffering from a variety of diseases Examines neurochemical, psychophysiological, and genetic factors Covers acute and chronic exercise

This book was released on 2014 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past two decades a positive effect on cognitive performance has consistently been identified following an acute bout of aerobic exercise. (Etnier, Salazar, Landers, Petruzzello, Han, & Nowell, 1997). A limited number of studies have identified a similar positive effect following acute aerobic exercise in preadolescent samples (Ellemberg & St-Louise-Deschenes, 2010; Hillman, Pontifex, Raine, Castelli, Hall, & Kramer, 2009; Pesce, Crova, Cereatti, Casella, & Belluci, 2009; Tomporowski, 2003). Resistance exercise within adult samples has also been associated with increases in cognitive performance (Chang & Etnier, 2008, 2009; Chang, Ku, Tomporowski, Chen, & Huang, 2012). There is currently no existing research examining the effects an acute bout of resistance exercise has on the cognitive performance of a preadolescent sample. A possible reason for this lack of research is the misconception that resistance exercise can have detrimental effects on the developing bodies of preadolescents. These safety concerns have been deemed unnecessary as recent statements from both the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) have determined resistance exercise in preadolescence is safe and even beneficial to the bones, joints, and muscles of developing bodies. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects an acute bout of resistance exercise has on cognitive performance by a preadolescent sample./DISS_para Participants were randomly assigned to one of two different treatment conditions (exercise or control). Participants in each condition completed a number of cognitive tasks testing executive function and completed a 20 minute bout of resistance exercise. Those in the exercise condition completed the cognitive tasks immediately after the resistance exercise. Those in the control condition completed the cognitive tasks immediately before the resistance exercise. DISS_para Analyses revealed that for errors within the Stroop W condition, a measure of processing speed and inhibition, there was a significant difference between groups such that the exercise group had fewer errors at the post-test than the control group. There were no significant differences for task switching, problem solving, working memory, and visual attention between groups. The results for this sample thus suggest that resistance exercise may have a clinically meaningful effect on aspects of processing speed and inhibition."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to provide a real-world test of the relationship between the performance of an acute bout of moderate physical activity (walking) during the lunch hour and subsequent cognitive performance in the workplace. Participants were generally healthy, middle aged (mean age = 45.23), white-collar workers. Participants were randomly assigned to walk or not walk on their lunch break and then complete a battery of computer-based cognitive tests later in the afternoon. On a second day, the same procedures were repeated with the walkers now being the non-walkers and vice versa. Within subjects analysis revealed significant differences, p

Mattila and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety is a prevalent issue on college campuses, and is associated with impaired cognition. Finding an affordable behavioral therapy that could enhance cognitive performance in the academic setting would be valuable. Acute exercise has been associated with both reduced anxiety and improved cognition. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on state anxiety (SA), cognition, and academic performance in college-aged individuals. Participants: Thirty college students, with high- (n=9) or low-trait (n=21) anxiety, were solicited for this experiment. Fourteen were females and sixteen were males. Methods: Participation required three lab visits, lasting 1-2 hours each. Demographic questionnaires and baseline assessments of cognitive function, academic achievement, trait anxiety, and fitness were performed during visit one. The latter two visits were counterbalanced between experimental and control conditions. The control condition involved sitting quietly for 34 minutes on a treadmill, while the experimental condition involved 34 minutes of aerobic treadmill exercise, 20% below Ventilatory Threshold. Measures of state anxiety, academic achievement, and inhibition were assessed at multiple time points afterward. Results: Reductions in SA were seen in high-trait anxious individuals for both conditions. High-trait anxious individuals had decreased SA immediately post-condition, increased SA during the cognitive tests, and decreased SA at the end of the session. As hypothesized, SA of the high-trait anxious group decreased significantly more from baseline to immediately post-exercise than it did for the low-trait anxious group (as the low-trait group had a very slight increase). Low-trait anxious individuals had less profound fluctuations in SA over time than high-trait anxious individuals. Overall, accuracy was fairly high for all tasks except for the N2-back task. RT was slower for tasks that were more difficult (i.e., incongruent and nontarget trials). Findings revealed generally greater accuracy, faster RT, and greater response variability for high-trait anxious individuals than low-trait anxious individuals on all tasks. However, these responses varied greatly depending on the condition and time of assessment. Exercise did seem to show a trend towards facilitating cognitive performance, but failed to reach significance on many accounts. However, this trend was not seen for N1-back and N2-back RT, because these were slower post-exercise for both groups. Thus, results are very inconclusive. Math SAT scores were higher after exercise than rest, for both groups. A similar trend was seen for Reading SAT scores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of literature suggests that higher levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as an alternative treatment such as low level laser therapy (LLLT), have beneficial effects on cognition, while sedentary lifestyle-induced obesity and vascular risk negatively influence cognition. However, the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and vascular risk on cognitive function and the effect of an acute bout of very vigorous aerobic exercise (acute exercise) on cognitive performance has not yet been investigated. Additionally, the effects of combined acute exercise and LLLT treatments on cognitive performance have not yet been characterized. Therefore, the goal of this dissertation was to conduct a series of three research studies ranging from a cross-sectional exploratory study about the association of cardiorespiratory fitness, obesity, and vascular risk on cognitive function, to an experimentally designed study that compared the effects of acute exercise, LLLT, and the combination of these two treatments on cognitive performance in young adults. Study1 examined the relationship among cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen consumption, VO2max), obesity indices (body mass index, BMI; waist circumstance), and vascular risk (C-reactive protein; CRP). Cognitive function included crystalized intelligence (Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test; KBIT), executive functions of inhibition (Stroop test), switching (Trail making test; TMT), attention (Psychomotor Vigilance Task; PVT), and working memory (Delayed-Match-to-Sample, DMS). Study 2 determined the effect of acute exercise on cognitive performance including executive response inhibition (Stroop test) and response switching (TMT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BNDF). Study 3 compared the effectiveness of LLLT and acute exercise on cognitive performance, which included attention (PVT) and working memory (DMS). Results demonstrated there was a beneficial effect of physical exercise-induced improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness on vascular risk and cognitive functions particularly in working memory and inhibitory control (Study1). Acute exercise improved performance in inhibitory control and increased the BNDF level compared to the control condition, suggesting the acute exercise-induced the increase in BDNF level may be at least in part of mediating the cognitive performance improvement (Study 2). All three conditions (acute exercise, LLLT, or the combination) improved performance in attention and working memory, as measured by reaction time and response accuracy, when compared to a control group. Specially, the combined group showed a trend of greater improvement in attention and worming memory performance (Study 3). Taken together, the results of this research series suggest that acute exercise and LLLT can improve cognitive performance, which is also mediated by health indices including cardiorespiratory fitness, obesity, and vascular risk. It is anticipated that these findings will make substantive contributions to the empirical literature concerning the beneficial effect of exercise and LLLT on cognitive health in young adults, given the current paucity of research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine whether acute aerobic exercise of moderate intensity has an effect on cognitive performance on a long-term memory task; and secondly, if that effect is influenced by the order in which the exercise is introduced relative to the memory task. Sixty-four college students composed the sample, which was divided into four conditions: exercise-rest, rest-exercise, exercise-exercise, and rest-rest. Recall was assessed using the Standard New York University (NYU) Paragraphs for immediate and delayed recall. Participants were read two separate paragraphs. Following a 35-minute delay, participants were then asked to recount as much of the paragraphs as they could, as close to verbatim as possible. The first word in each condition denotes the participant's task prior to paragraph exposure, and the second denotes their task during the 35-minute delay. ANOVA examining differences in delayed recall performance between the two groups completing one bout of exercise (exercise-rest and rest-exercise) and the rest-rest group was significant, F(2,45) = 4.37, p = 0.018. Helmert planned contrast revealed that the exercise-rest group performed significantly better on delayed recall testing than all other groups, F(1,32) = 3.81, p

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book The Effect of Acute Exercise on the Formation of Long-term Memory written by Jeffrey Daniel Labban and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though the body of literature converges on the notion that acute exercise has a small, positive effect on cognitive performance in general (Chang, Labban, Gapin, & Etnier, 2012; Lambourne & Tomporowski, 2010), effects on certain cognitive domains remain poorly understood. Among these cognitive domains, memory is one of the least studied within the acute exercise literature. Despite the lack of attention in the exercise literature, memory is an intriguing and important domain of study. Most effects of acute exercise on cognitive function abate relatively quickly following exercise cessation. However, if exercise can improve the ability to process and/or store newly acquired information, then it is conceivable that the product of these effects (i.e. - improved recall) could be observed well after exercise cessation. The purpose of this study was twofold. The primary purpose was to test whether a single bout of aerobic exercise affects performance on a long-term memory task. The secondary purpose was to determine whether that effect operates primarily through the encoding and/or consolidation processes of long-term memory formation. The secondary purpose was tested by manipulating the timing of exercise relative to exposure to the to-be-remembered material (word list). A within-subjects, repeated measures design was used. Participants completed 3 conditions in randomized order, including 2 treatment conditions and one control condition. Treatment conditions involved participants exercising either immediately prior to or immediately following word list exposure. Exercise prior to exposure could impact encoding or consolidation (E+C); whereas, exercise following exposure could only impact consolidation (C). The control condition involved no exercise (NE) at all. Exercise consisted of 20 minutes, at moderate intensity, on a cycle ergometer, as well as a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minutecool-down (30 minutes total). Memory for the word list was assessed 60 minutes and 24 hours after participants had finished listening to it. Analyses revealed that the E+C condition produced significantly better recall of the word list following both the 60-minute (?p2 = 0.24) and 24-hour (?p2 = 0.22) delays. Pairwise comparisons revealed statistically significant differences in recall for the E+C condition versus the NE condition; however, no differences were observed involving the C condition. These results suggested that acute exercise can benefit long-term memory, and that this benefit is accomplished primarily through an effect on the encoding process."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute sleep loss may lead to elevated fatigue, decreased energy, and diminished cognitive performance. Traditionally, sleep extension is used to restore mood and cognitive function to baseline levels following insufficient sleep, yet this method may not be feasible or preferred. Acute exercise may serve as an affordable and relatively safe intervention to reduce detriments to daytime functioning following sleep loss. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on neurocognitive function following acute sleep restriction. A secondary aim was to examine the effects of exercise in subjective reports of fatigue, energy, and sleepiness following acute sleep restriction. Fifty-six participants, matched by sex, age, and chronotype, were randomly assigned to either an exercise (EX) or seated control (SC) condition. Following a 4-hour sleep restriction protocol, participants completed the oddball paradigm before and after 20 minutes of exercise or stationary sitting. P3 amplitude and latency, arousal, sleepiness, energy, and fatigue were assessed during the experiment. After controlling for pre-test differences, P3 latency was significantly faster following exercise relative to the control group. No significant P3 amplitude differences were observed between conditions. The EX group displayed significant improvements in arousal, sleepiness, energy, and fatigue compared to the SC group. Findings suggest that 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise following acute sleep restriction may improve cognitive processing speeds, as well as improve arousal, sleepiness, energy, and fatigue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The improvement of exercise performance in sports not only involves the enhancement of physical strength, but also includes the development of psychological and cognitive functions. There is an increasing body of evidence to show that physical exercise is a powerful way to improve a number of aspects of cognition and brain function at the systemic and behavioral levels. Yet, several questions remain: What type of exercise program is optimal for improving cognitive functions? What are the real effects of certain innovative exercise protocols on the relationship between behavior and the brain? To what extent do ergogenic aids boost cognitive function? How efficient are neuromodulation techniques in relation to behavioral performance? The answers to these questions likely require multidisciplinary insights not only from physiologists and sports scientists, but also from neuroscientists and psychologists. The manuscripts published (16 research papers and one perspective article from various academic fields) in this Special Issue Book “Exercise: A Gate That Primes the Brain to Perform” bring together current knowledge and novel directions in human exercise-cognition research dealing with performance. This book showcases the various relationships between cognitive function, brain activity, and behavioral performance with applications in sports and exercise science.
