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

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the older adult population, there is a high rate of decline in cognitive functioning. It has been reported that improving fitness levels exhibits a positive effect on cognition (Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Colcombe et al., 2004). Older adult females 60-75 years of age who were moderately to highly fit performed better on working memory tasks after an acute bout of moderate or high-intensity aerobic exercise than before exercise. Participants included healthy females (N = 11) who were not on medications for cognitive impairment and who did not show signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. A submaximal walking exercise test was administered to assess fitness levels, as well as modified flanker tasks and d2-tests, to measure executive functioning in the brain. Results indicated that older adults females, 60-75 years of age showed improved scores on the modified flanker task and d2-tests after a session of moderate or high-intensity aerobic exercise. These findings suggest that an acute bout of exercise, regardless of intensity, can improve tests of executive control.

Download or read book Exploring the Influence of Exercise Timing Relative to Exposure to a Memory Task on Long term Recall written by Chia-Hao Shih and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Physical activity is beneficial to cognitive function, including memory which is an essential function we use in our daily life. Roig, Nordbrandt, Geertsen, and Nielsen (2013) meta-analysis provides evidence that a single bout of exercise has positive effects on short-term/working and long-term memory. Additionally, the majority of studies showed that compared to a no-treatment control condition, improved memory task performance was reported when an acute bout of exercise occurred prior to memory tasks. However, only two studies have specifically investigated the influence of exercise timing relative to exposure to the memory task on memory performance (Labban & Etnier, 2011; Salas, Minakata, & Kelemen, 2011). In order to expand the literature, the current study examined the effects of the timing of exercise relative to a memory task on long-term recall performance by assigning participants into one of four experimental conditions: 1) exercise before memory exposure, 2) exercise after memory exposure, 3) exercise before long-term recall, and 4) no-exercise control condition. Eight-three participants completed the study. Results showed that no differences among treatment groups reached statistical significance on all memory measures. These findings indicated that a single, short bout of exercise at different points relative to memory exposure neither benefit nor hinder memory task performance. Future research exploring how exercise intensity and duration interact to influence memory performance is needed."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

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.

Download or read book Acute Exercise Improves Relational Memory But Not Visual Perceptual Learning in Young Healthy Adults written by Dione Hoohauoli Fernandez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis includes a review of the literature examining the effects of exercise on the brain. This includes exercise effects on structural changes, neuronal activation, and cognitive performance. Finally, the literature review discusses exercise as a treatment for depression. This thesis also includes an original study of the effects of exercise on relational memory, a hippocampal-mediated task, and visual perceptual learning in healthy adults. The hippocampus plays a large role in learning and memory and is implicated in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. Therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a single bout of moderate intensity exercise on relational memory and visual perceptual learning. Thirty-four healthy adults, mean age 23.5 ± 3.8 years, performed 20 minutes of cycling and 20 minutes of rest on a cycle ergometer on separate occasions. Relational memory and visual perceptual learning were measured during the 40 minutes following exercise and rest. Subjects performed better on the relational memory task (hit rate minus false alarm 0.72 ± 0.15 and 0.64 ± 0.21; Wilcoxon T=94.5, n=29, p=0.020), and performed the task faster, reaction time 1177.5 ± 209.4 ms and 1235.3 ± 245.7 ms (Wilcoxon T=129, n=29, p=0.028), after exercise. Although there was a trend toward greater visual perceptual learning with exercise (visual score 0.17 ± 0.29 and 0.11 ± 0.31; Wilcoxon T=132, n=27, p=0.085), it was not significant. A positive correlation was seen between visual perceptual learning and relational memory on the exercise day (R=0.50, n=23, p=0.016). Twenty minutes of moderate intensity exercise enhances relational memory, but not visual perceptual learning in healthy, young adults. However, participants who performed well on the relational memory task following exercise also performed well on the visual perceptual learning task. This suggests that multiple areas of the brain benefit from a single bout of moderate intensity exercise.

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.
