EVIDENCE IS EMERGING THAT RESISTANCE EXERCISE (RE) CAN IMPROVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN SENIORS. THIS ARTICLE DEMONSTRATES TO THE EXERCISE PROFESSIONAL THAT BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC RE HAS A POTENTIAL BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN MIDDLE-AGED AND OLDER MALES AND ...
It is conceivable that improvement in cognitive function is achieved by structural and functional changes in brain. Although ample evidence suggests both conventional exercise and Tai Chi have beneficial effects on cognitive function, these two exercise modalities are likely to improve cognitive function t...
So I've gone from memory pioneer to exercise explorer. From going into the innermost workings of the brain, to trying to understand how exercise can improve our brain function, and my goal in my lab right now is to go beyond that rule of thumb that I just gave you -- three to four...
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects the outcome of millions of patients each year. Aging is a risk factor for POCD. Here, we showed that surgery induced learning and memory dysfunction in adult mice. Transplantation of feces from surgery mice but not from control mice led to learni...
Exercise and Cognitive Dysfunction: The Role of Genetic Signaling Pathways Physical activity has the potential to enhance overall cognitive function in a number of different ways [16,44,68,69,70,71,72,73]. One potential benefit of engaging in physical exercise is that it can improve the brain...
the increase of hippocampal level of BDNF caused by exercise is proven to improve cognitive function; after exercise, both the increase of hippocampal volume and the expression of synaptic plasticity proteins will enhance LTP; and some studies have addressed the effect of exercise on adult neurogenesi...
This randomized clinical trial examines the effectiveness of aerobic-resistance exercise with and without computerized cognitive training and vitamin D
Since Gatorade® (G) is a glucose formulation that improves exogenous glucose availability; we propose ingestion prior to exercise will improve the expected impaired cognitive function commonly associated with prolonged exercise.doi:10.1096/fasebj.24.1_supplement.742.3Daniel Michael Rosney...
Physical activity is “effective at reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration” and “enhancing overall cognitive function.” Additionally, the endorphins released through physical activity “improve the ability to sleep, which in turn reduces stress.” Hazard Prevention Keeping our homes ...
Cognitive reserve theory suggests that physical activity may protect individuals from cognitive decline. At the brain level, greater cognitive reserve may manifest as greater neural network efficiency. Our purpose was to investigate 1) whether participation in a 16-week walking program increased ...
