Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has found that regular exercise has a positive effect on cognitive function. Some studies indicate that even an acute session of exercise has a slight positive effect on cognitive function, though factors moderating this effect have not been thoroughly examined. Exercise intensity and timing of cognitive assessment may have an interactive effect on cognitive changes after exercise. Previous research suggests that moderate intensity exercise has the most consistent benefit to cognitive function. In contrast, studies find positive, negative, or null effects to cognitive function after high intensity exercise, where the timing of the post-exercise assessments may account for the observed differences. Since high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an increasingly popular form of exercise due to equal or greater cardiovascular adaptation for reduced exercise time, understanding its cognitive effects is of interest. The primary objective of the study was to compare the cognitive effects of an acute bout of HIIT to both moderate intensity continuous training (MCT) and rest. The secondary objective was to compare the timeline of the cognitive effects between these three sessions. Twenty-two participants performed 28.5min of HIIT, MCT, and rest on three separate days, each 2 weeks apart. The rest session was performed first and the subsequent exercise sessions were randomized. Cognitive function was assessed using a modified Flanker task with concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) before and 0, 15, 30, and 45min post-intervention. The hypothesis that cognitive function would improve after MCT and HIIT was not supported. Though there was some variability in cognitive function post-exercise, cognitive function was not significantly different before to after exercise or in comparison to the rest session. However, measures of cognitive function were often better prior to the exercise sessions than before exercise, possibly due to an anticipatory effect prior to exercise or learning carry-over after the rest session, which complicated interpretation of results. Of note, only a small number of prior studies included a baseline assessment of cognitive function in each session. Future research should examine the influence of the anticipation of exercise on cognitive function to better understand whether it is the psychological or physical stress imposed by exercise that enhances cognitive function.

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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Exposure to high altitude or hypoxia may elicit negative cognitive performance and mood state in many individuals. This may place the individuals at undue risk. Moderate intensity exercise may improve psychological and mood state at normoxia but little is known about its effect in hypoxia. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of two exercise intensities on cognitive performance and mood state in normobaric hypoxia. METHOD: 19 young, healthy men completed the ANAM versions of the Go/No-Go task and Running Memory Continuous Performance Task (RMCPT) during baseline (21% O2) as well as during rest and cycle ergometer workloads that elicited 40 and 60% of adjusted VO2max in normobaric hypoxia (12.5% O2). RESULTS: During exercise at 40% and 60% of adjusted VO2max improved throughput score in RMCPT (p=0.023, p=0.006, respectively) and total mood disturbance (TMD) (p=0.009) compared to rest in hypoxia (p=0.015). In addition there was improved TMD during recovery compare to rest in hypoxia. There is no significant difference in throughput score of RMCPT and TMD between two exercise intensities. CONCLUSION: The current study demonstrated that at moderate exercise (i.e., 40-60% adjusted VO2max) attenuated the adverse effects of hypoxia on cognitive performance and mood. This finding may be beneficial for individuals to reduce the risk of impaired cognitive function and mood. Further studies are needed to replicate this current finding, and to clarify the possible mechanisms associated with the potential benefits of exercise on mood state in normobaric hypoxia.

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
Download or read book The Effect of Exercise on Cognitive Function as Measured by Impact Protocol written by John J. Brutvan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to assess the influence of acute bouts of aerobic versus resistance exercise on cognitive function of college-aged participants as measured by the ImPACT Protocol. Twenty college aged participants (11 females, age= 20.1±0.9; 9 males, age= 20.2± 1.6 yrs) from the Kent State University main campus completed two sessions of being ImPACT tested immediately before, immediately after, and 45 minutes after interventions consisting of either an aerobic exercise session, a resistance exercise session, or seated rest control. Findings indicated significant change in measures of reaction time, impulse control, and visual motor speed across all three groups of participants. No significant change was seen in measures of visual or verbal memory. The results cannot be seen as suggesting that exercise has no effect on cognitive function. Rather, they may suggest a learning effect previously unaccounted for in the ImPACT testing protocol.
