Beschreibungen

This textbook focuses on the relationship between physical exercise and cognition, a very timely and important topic with major theoretical and practical implications for a number of areas including ageing, neurorehabilitation, depression and dementia. It brings together a wide range of analytical approaches and experimental results to provide a very useful overview and synthesis of this growing field of study. <p><b>The book is divided into three parts:</b><br /> Part I covers the conceptual, theoretical and methodological underpinnings and issues.<br /> Part II focuses on advances in exercise and cognition research, with appropriate sub-sections on ‘acute’ and ‘chronic’ exercise and cognition.<br /> Part III presents an overview of the area and makes suggestions for the direction of future research.</p> <p>This text provides a cutting-edge examination of this increasingly important area written by leading experts from around the world.  The book will prove invaluable to researchers and practitioners in a number of fields, including exercise science, cognitive science, neuroscience and clinical medicine.</p> <p><b>Key Features:</b></p> <ul> <li>Unique in-depth investigation of the relationship between physical exercise and brain function.</li> <li>Covers theoretical approaches and experimental results and includes chapters on the latest developments in research design.</li> <li>Examines the effects of both acute and chronic exercise on brain function.</li> <li>International list of contributors, who are leading researchers in their field.</li> </ul>
