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.
The book is divided into three parts:
Part I covers the conceptual, theoretical and methodological
underpinnings 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 for
the direction of future research.
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.
Key Features:
* Unique in-depth investigation of the relationship between
