Exercise and Cognitive Function
herausgegeben von Terry McMorris, Phillip Tomporowski und Michel AudiffrenThis textbook focuses on the relationship between physical exerciseand cognition, a very timely and important topic with majortheoretical and practical implications for a number of areasincluding ageing, neurorehabilitation, depression and dementia. Itbrings together a wide range of analytical approaches andexperimental results to provide a very useful overview andsynthesis of this growing field of study.
The book is divided into three parts:
Part I covers the conceptual, theoretical and methodologicalunderpinnings and issues.
Part II focuses on advances in exercise and cognition research, with appropriate sub-sections on 'acute' and'chronic' exercise and cognition.
Part III presents an overview of the area and makes suggestions forthe direction of future research.
This text provides a cutting-edge examination of thisincreasingly important area written by leading experts from aroundthe world. The book will prove invaluable to researchers andpractitioners in a number of fields, including exercise science, cognitive science, neuroscience and clinical medicine.
Key Features:
* Unique in-depth investigation of the relationship betweenphysical exercise and brain function.
* Covers theoretical approaches and experimental results andincludes chapters on the latest developments in researchdesign.
* Examines the effects of both acute and chronic exercise onbrain function.
* International list of contributors, who are leading researchersin their field.
