Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The present study sought to investigate how aerobic exercise impacts cognition and affect in children. Using a within-subjects, quasi-experimental design, 20 second-grade students aged 7 to 8 years participated in two conditions (passive vs. active exercise). The passive condition reflected a sedentary state in which their heart rates remained at baseline. The active condition was intended to reflect a bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise. It was hypothesized that exercise would yield more positive reports of affective state, improved performance on a memory task, and an increase in speed of processing as measured by a math fluency task. Statistically significant results were found for differences in heart rate between conditions (t = 7.95, df = 19, p = .000) and performance on a memory task (t = 4.23, df = 19.00, p = .000) between conditions indicating that exercise may have some benefits for cognition in children."--Abstract, p. 1.

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.

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.

Download or read book Effects of a Single Session of Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Function Among Patients with Chronic Stroke written by Karli Swatridge and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of stroke is increasing and is expected to continue to increase with the aging population, escalating rates of obesity and physical inactivity, and the rising prevalence of heart failure. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, which includes approximately half of survivors that experience cognitive impairment. It is accepted that aerobic exercise can improve physical health in both healthy and stroke populations. Evidence also suggests aerobic exercise may positively affect cognitive function among healthy adults; however, whether there are similar beneficial effects among stroke survivors remains unclear. The purpose of this thesis was to examine whether a single session of moderate intensity aerobic exercise acutely improves cognitive function, specifically executive function, in comparison to a rest control among people with chronic stroke. Our first objective was to determine whether aerobic exercise alters cortical processing, as measured by P300 amplitude and latency during a modified Eriksen Flanker task. The second objective was to investigate whether aerobic exercise influences behavioral measures of response time and accuracy during a modified Eriksen Flanker task. Finally, the third objective was to examine the time course of effects up to 40 minutes after exercise cessation. In our sample, participants had shorter P300 latency and larger P300 amplitude 20 to 40 minutes after exercise cessation in comparison to rest. There were no significant behavioural changes. These findings suggest that aerobic exercise may enhance, or at least maintain cognitive processing speed and attention 20 to 40 minutes after exercise cessation, which otherwise deteriorated in the rest condition. Although results should be viewed cautiously due to a small sample size, these findings have potential implications for stroke rehabilitation. Our results suggest that aerobic exercise may be able to improve attentional focus during subsequent rehabilitation exercises for up to 40 minutes or more. Future research should examine whether the effects of various exercise doses and whether paired exercise and rehabilitation improves clinical outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, staying "mentally sharp" as they age is a very high priority. Declines in memory and decision-making abilities may trigger fears of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative diseases. However, cognitive aging is a natural process that can have both positive and negative effects on cognitive function in older adults - effects that vary widely among individuals. At this point in time, when the older population is rapidly growing in the United States and across the globe, it is important to examine what is known about cognitive aging and to identify and promote actions that individuals, organizations, communities, and society can take to help older adults maintain and improve their cognitive health. Cognitive Aging assesses the public health dimensions of cognitive aging with an emphasis on definitions and terminology, epidemiology and surveillance, prevention and intervention, education of health professionals, and public awareness and education. This report makes specific recommendations for individuals to reduce the risks of cognitive decline with aging. Aging is inevitable, but there are actions that can be taken by individuals, families, communities, and society that may help to prevent or ameliorate the impact of aging on the brain, understand more about its impact, and help older adults live more fully and independent lives. Cognitive aging is not just an individual or a family or a health care system challenge. It is an issue that affects the fabric of society and requires actions by many and varied stakeholders. Cognitive Aging offers clear steps that individuals, families, communities, health care providers and systems, financial organizations, community groups, public health agencies, and others can take to promote cognitive health and to help older adults live fuller and more independent lives. Ultimately, this report calls for a societal commitment to cognitive aging as a public health issue that requires prompt action across many sectors.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engagement in physical activity or exercise is beneficial for many different aspects of health. Cognitive health is one area in particular that has shown considerable benefits from exercise. Acute exercise paradigms have more recently been used and found to provide immediate enhancements to higher-level cognition, such as executive function and working memory. The goal of the current study was to understand how different intensities of aerobic exercise cycling influence post working memory performance and to see if the effects differ depending on whether working memory is measured immediately following exercise or after a 15 minute delay. A total of 120 participants were randomly assigned to one of four exercise intensity conditions, low, moderate, high or a resting control. Participants’ working memory was assessed at their first baseline session. During the second session, participants cycled or rested for 30 minutes and working memory was assessed immediately following and 15 minutes following the exercise or rest period. Results showed that working memory scores increased over time regardless of the condition. Further analysis also showed that working memory scores were higher following a 15 minute delay for both the low and moderate exercise conditions and there was a trend towards higher working memory scores immediately following exercise for the high intensity condition. Taken together, these results highlight the complex nature of the relationship between acute exercise and cognition.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was conducted to examine the behavioral cognitive and neurophysiological effects of acute exposure to simulated moderate and high altitudes at rest and during exercise in an effort to delineate whether there is a level of simulated altitude beyond which cognition and neurophysiological function are impaired and whether exercise improves or worsens cognitive function during exposure to simulated altitude. Dependent variables included accuracy and reaction time on a number of behavioral cognitive tasks, and the amplitude and latency of their associated event-related potentials. Fourteen recreationally active college students (M=9, F=5) aged 18-35 participated in this study, which consisted of six experimental days, with three simulated altitude conditions: sea level (SL), simulated moderate altitude (MA; 15.4% FIO2, ~2400 m) or simulated high altitude (HA; 12.8% FIO2, ~3900 m); and two exercise conditions: rest or moderate intensity cycling exercise at 60% altitude-specific peak power output, in a randomized-order, crossover design. Simulated altitude slowed down reaction time on a number of tasks (p=0.04), while exercise improved reaction time (p=0.01), without decrements in accuracy under any condition. These effects were partially explained by alterations in associated event-related potential amplitudes and latencies, such as slower N200 latencies with altitude (p=0.04) but faster latencies with exercise (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute aerobic exercise exerts a small beneficial effect on cognition. Much of the research to date has focused on cognitive changes following a bout of exercise, while little is currently known about changes in cognitive performance during exercise. The limited research that has been conducted suggests either positive, negative, or no effects on cognitive performance during exercise. Thus, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of low-intensity cycling on cognitive function in college-aged students, indexed by response accuracy, reaction time, P3 amplitude, and P3 latency. Twenty-seven (Mage = 22.9 ± 3.0 years old) college-aged individuals were counterbalanced into low-intensity exercise (EX) and seated control (SC) conditions. During each condition, participants completed a 10-minute resting baseline period, 20 minutes of either sustained cycling or seated rest, and a 20-minute recovery period. Primary outcomes were assessed at 10-minute intervals (5 blocks total) throughout each condition via a modified oddball task. Across time blocks, both conditions exhibited faster reaction times on frequent trials but reduced accuracy to rare trials, suggesting a speed-accuracy tradeoff. There were no differences between conditions in P3 latency whereas a significant reduction in P3 amplitude was observed during the 20-minute exercise period compared to the control condition. Taken together, the results suggest that exercise at lower doses may have minimal influence on behavioral outcomes of cognitive performance but may impact more basic measures of brain function. Information gathered from this study may aid in the development of appropriate exercise prescriptions for populations looking to specifically target cognitive function deficits.

Download or read book The Influence of Social Engagement on Exercise-associated Cognitive and Affective Changes in Older Adult Women written by Teran Nieman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single bouts of aerobic exercise appear to elicit improvements in cognition and affect among older adults, which are dependent on exercise dose (intensity, duration). Social engagement, not typically considered in exercise prescription but often included in exercise delivery, may also influence these outcomes. This study examined the effects of social exercise and solo exercise versus a control on affect and cognition among older adult women. Thirty healthy older adult women were recruited to this study. In a repeated-measures design, participants each completed three sessions: 1) social exercise: moderate intensity treadmill walking with concurrent conversation with another participant; 2) solo exercise: moderate intensity treadmill walking alone; and 3) active control seated and listening to an informative podcast. Order of conditions was counterbalanced. Executive function was assessed immediately before and 10 minutes after each intervention using a modified Eriksen Flanker task. Response time (RT), accuracy, and inverse efficiency score (IES) were calculated from Flanker data. Affect was assessed using the Physical Activity Affect Scale (PAAS) immediately before and after each intervention and at 3-hour intervals throughout the day of intervention and the following day. PAAS subfactors of positive affect, negative affect, tranquility, and fatigue were used in analysis. To better examine variability in RT response to exercise, individual participant response times across conditions and time were examined and used to group participants in an exploratory analysis. Four groupings emerged: 1) Consistent Responders; 2) Social Responders; 3) Solo Responders; 4) Non-Responders. Differences in personality, activity levels, conversation characteristics, sleep, and energy expenditure were examined between groups. Results show higher accuracy in exercise conditions than control, but with no change in RT over time or conditions. There was significantly lower IES in the social condition compared to control, but no difference between exercise conditions. Responder groups varied by personality, exercise history, and social engagement characteristics such that consistent and social responders tended to be more extroverted, agreeable, and conscientious than other groups. Social conversation quality and quantity was also higher among these groups, while contribution to the conversation was lowest. Subjective physical activity levels were highest in the non-responder group. Acute improvements in affect (denoted by higher positive affect and reduced negative affect) occurred following social exercise, but not solo exercise or control. This reduction in negative affect remained until 6h-post social exercise, however positive affect decreased over this time. Overall, results provide only weak support for enhanced executive functions following exercise or social exercise. However, social engagement during exercise may lead to affective improvements, which may be sustained up to 6h-post intervention.

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
