This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), relies heavily on self-care behaviours such as dietary modification, physical activity, and medication adherence. Ability to perform these self-care behaviours depends, at least in part, on executive function (EF). Recent evidence suggests a correlation between T2DM and impaired cognitive function, including EF. Given the importance of EF for regulation of behaviours, and the importance of self-care in diabetes management, attenuated EF would represent a potential barrier to proper disease management. Thus the objective of Study 1 was to examine the association between T2DM and EF through meta-analytic techniques. Medline, PsychoInfo, and Scopus, as well as article references, were used to identify studies comparing individuals with T2DM to a control population. Effect size was calculated using cohen's d and random effects modeling, and the potential impact of moderators (age, sex, and T2DM duration) were examined. Review of 60 studies (59 articles), revealed a significant, small-to-moderate effect size (d=-0.249, 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of a single bout of moderately intense aerobic exercise on measures of executive function in young adults with ADHD. Thirty-two young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years old were randomly assigned to either an acute exercise group or a control group. The exercise protocol was designed to address the methodological shortcomings in the exercise and executive function literature, and involved cycling on a stationary bike at moderate intensity for 30 minutes. Participants completed executive function tasks related to set shifting, working memory, and inhibition prior to and immediately following the treatment session. Results of the study reveal that acute exercise facilitated performance on the Stroop Color-Word task when compared to sedentary controls. However, unlike previous research on healthy adults, no improvements on the other measures of executive function were observed. These findings suggest that young adults with ADHD may specifically benefit from acute exercise on aspects of executive function related to the Stroop Color-Word measure. In conclusion, further research on this topic should continue to investigate this population, as well as consider the relationship between acute exercise and additional neuropsychological measures of inhibition, set shifting, and working memory in order to better determine the effects on each construct.

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: Chronic disease refers to those health problems continuing or reoccurring for a long time. In addition to the commonly discussed chronic disease, chronic diseases in this Research Topic include mental diseases, substance abuse, visual impairment, developmental disorders, advancing age-related degradations, and other chronic health problems. Unlike acute illnesses, chronic diseases are not easily diagnosed before clinical symptoms and are hard to manage. Early prevention by identifying the potential risk factors and applying the proper interventions would have tremendous meaning to chronic disease management and treatment. To date, exercise has been acknowledged as an active and efficient way to prevent and treat a variety of chronic diseases. However, disputes exist in the current evidence, including but not limited to the lack of rationales in exercise program design, improper implementation of intervention without following basic training principles, and conflicting opinions towards the optimal exercise prescriptions for different chronic conditions, to name a few. Some of these questions may stay hard to answer, but we look forward to new perspectives, advanced methods/measures, innovative findings, and exploratory solutions to understand exercise therapy in chronic disease management and health promotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leverage your built-in rhythms of Upstates and Downstates to enhance energy, sharpen thinking, balance moods, fuel fitness, and more. If you’re like most people, the relentless daily grind of go-go-go, do-do-do, can run down your energy and deplete your resources. While most of us find our lives full of “Upstate” moments that rev up our stress engines, it doesn’t have to be this way. World-renowned sleep researcher Sara C. Mednick, PhD, shows us how we can access the most replenishing and repairing aspects of sleep through activities and moments that happen during our day by diving into our “Downstate.” Dr. Mednick shows that bringing ourselves back to the Downstate is critical for our health, well-being, and cognitive longevity. Drawing on her original findings—and those of others across many fields of medicine—Dr. Mednick creates a comprehensive picture of the Upstate/Downstate rhythms that orchestrate all of our bodies’ vital systems, along with a novel theory that aging is caused by spending less and less time in Downstate activities. The Power of the Downstate offers practical, evidence-based insight into how we can all enable those systems to work together in better harmony. You’ll learn: How our bodies and minds are guided by a natural Upstate/Downstate rhythm—and how our modern lifestyles disrupt these rhythms to our detriment; How our vital organs and systems benefit from spending more time in the Downstate – which decreases the risk for Alzheimer’s disease, chronic illness, and early death; How we can activate the Downstate through rethinking how to breathe, eat, sleep and exercise; and The practical four-week Downstate RecoveryPlus Plan. Get ready to be more alert, productive, and cognitively sharp during the day, feel greater intimacy and affection, and enjoy consolidated, restorative sleep at night . . . not to mention expand your years of mental and physical vitality.

Download or read book Physical Activity Vascular Risk and Cognitive Performance in Young Adults written by Jungyun Hwang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 276 pages. 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.

This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, researchers are finding that exercise is an important component in the long-term management of diabetes. This book provides physicians, exercise physiologists, epidemiologists, and health care providers an extensive review of the literature that reveals the positive effects of exercise on people with Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus. The book also examines the role of exercise prescription in diabetes management.Authors Barbara N. Campaigne and Richard M. Lampman help you determine when exercise is appropriate and beneficial and present guidelines for using exercise to potentially prevent or delay the onset of the metabolic abnormalities of diabetes. In this one concise reference, you'll find complete information on- metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular responses to exercise;- optimizing exercise therapy; and- risks and benefits associated with exercise as a clinical management technique.Because Type I and Type II diabetes have such different characteristics, Exercise in the Clinical Management of Diabetes considers each separately. In addition to a complete review of the etiology and pathology of both types, you'll find in-depth information about how acute exercise and physical training affect each type. Two final chapters discuss the clinical uses of exercise prescription and include case studies to help you apply the information to your situation.For anyone involved in diabetes treatment or research--physicians, exercise physiologists, epidemiologists, health care providers, biochemists, and physiologists--this is an indispensable resource. It's also an excellent graduate text for seminars in exercise physiology.
