TL;DR: It is shown that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the anterior hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory, and that increased hippocampal volume is associated with greater serum levels of BDNF, a mediator of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric Properties of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory in a Competitive Sport Setting: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
TL;DR: The LISREL VI computer program was employed to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis to assess the tenability of a five factor hierarchical model representing four first-order factors or dimensions and a second-order general factor representing intrinsic motivation as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Brain Volume in Aging Humans
Stanley J. Colcombe,Kirk I. Erickson,Paige E. Scalf,Jenny S. Kim,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Edward McAuley,Steriani Elavsky,David X. Marquez,Liang Hu,Arthur F. Kramer +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that cardiovascular fitness is associated with the sparing of brain tissue in aging humans, and suggest a strong biological basis for the role of aerobic fitness in maintaining and enhancing central nervous system health and cognitive functioning in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACSM Position Stand: Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults
Robert S. Mazzeo,Peter R. Cavanagh,William J. Evans,Maria A. Fiatarone,James M. Hagberg,Edward McAuley,Jill K. Startzell +6 more
TL;DR: Regular exercise improves health status and contributes to an increase in life expectancy, and involvement in regular exercise can also provide a number of psychological benefits related to preserved cognitive function, alleviation of depression symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular fitness, cortical plasticity, and aging
Stanley J. Colcombe,Arthur F. Kramer,Kirk I. Erickson,Paige E. Scalf,Edward McAuley,Neal J. Cohen,Andrew G. Webb,Gerry J. Jerome,David X. Marquez,Steriani Elavsky +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time to the authors' knowledge, in humans that increases in cardiovascular fitness results in increased functioning of key aspects of the attentional network of the brain during a cognitively challenging task.
