The influence of age and fitness on the neuroelectric correlates of attentional orienting and processing during stimulus discrimination were investigated. Younger and older adult participants completed a maximal aerobic exercise test and were separated into higher- and lower-fit groups according to their cardiorespiratory fitness. Task performance and event-related potential measures were obtai...

Objective: To compare the effect of home-based step aerobic exercise program on physical fitness in sedentary university students with a control group.

BACKGROUND Although basic research has uncovered biological mechanisms by which exercise could maintain and enhance adult brain health, experimental human studies with older adults have produced equivocal results. PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial aimed to investigate the hypotheses that (a) the effects of exercise training on the performance of neurocognitive tasks in older adults is se...

African American (AA) women have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and have been reported to have lower cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) compared with Caucasian American (CA) women. However, little data exist that evaluate racial differences in the change in CRF following aerobic exercise training. CA (n = 264) and AA (n = 122) postmenopausal women from the Dose-Response to Exercise in ...

With explosive development in Chinese economy and science and technology, people's pursuit of health becomes more and more intense, therefore Chinese resident sports fitness activities have been rapidly developed. However, different fitness events popularity degrees and effects on body energy consumption are different, so bases on this, the paper researches on fitness behaviors and gets Chinese...

Abstract Background and Purpose: Studies carried out in recent decades show that exercises have useful impact on improving executive functions. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the roles of fitness and aerobic exercises on problem-solving process of dyslexic and dyscalculia children. Materials and methods: Using systematic review study and key terms including fitness and aerobic e...

This study assessed the relationship between cardiovascular fitness and temporal preparation in elderly persons. 110 older adults (aged 60-69 or 70-79 years) were sorted into low- and high-fit groups based on aerobic fitness level estimated with a walking test. Response preparation processes were assessed with reaction time tasks in which short (1, 3, 5 s) and long (5, 7, 9 s) preparatory inter...

In 1986, the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sport released results showing that American youth were not in good physical condition and that schools needed to reemphasize physical education. Within the last 15 years, researchers have obtained reliable data on the effects of physical exercise and activity on the physiological functions (including cardiorespiratory fitness) of childre...

METHOD: In the present study 18 Indian district level soccer players age between 18-25 years were conveniently selected from Birbhum district of West Bengal as subjects. To measure aerobic fitness, two different indirect methods of measuring VO2max were employed; these were Queens College test and 12 minutes Run-Walk test (Cooper Test). The data were analyzed by applying independent t-test to d...
