This volume also identifies and studies key sources of        individual variations in exercise and cognitive processes. Seventeen        internationally recognized experts in exercise, cognition,        neurobiological processes, and aging provide a review of        the state of knowledge and, where appropriate, provide practical        applications of research findings. The        book's review of research will update and expand current thinking on        pertinent issues regarding the relationship between exercise and        cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe research presented in \u003ci\u003eExercise        and Its Mediating Effects on Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e is organized        within a general model that illustrates the interrelationships of        exercise and physical activity and the mediators that enhance cognition.        Each chapter begins with an overview of how the topic fits into the        general model. Following each chapter, a summary provides not only the        highlights of the chapter but also the consensus or controversies        associated with the chapter topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first chapter        outlines the exercise–cognition model developed by Spirduso, Poon, Chodzko-Zajko,        and the text's contributors. Chapter 2 discusses exercise, mediators        that affect physical and mental resources for cognition,        and the combined relational effect on the cognitive process. Chapters 3        through 5 present research conducted on exercise and cognition in        relation to depression, stress, and self-efficacy. Chapter 6 discusses        cognitive energetics. Methodological problems of exercise and mental        resources are presented in chapter 7; and diet, motor behavior, and        cognition are discussed in chapter 8. Chapters 9 and 10 discuss the        relationships between exercise, sleep, and cognition. The effects of        exercise on cognition in cases of hypertension, diabetes, and chronic        obstructive pulmonary disease are presented in chapters 11 through 13.        In the final chapter, the editors offer conclusions and future research        directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExercise and Its Mediating        Effects on Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e        is the second of a three-volume series in Human Kinetics' Aging,        Exercise, and Cognition series, which presents advanced research and key        issues for understanding and researching the links between exercise,        aging, and cognition. In \u003ci\u003eExercise        and Its Mediating Effects on Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e,        internationally known experts define        current knowledge and future directions to address issues of active        living, cognitive functioning, and aging.        All three volumes are essential references for cognitive gerontologists,        medical and health science researchers, exercise science researchers and        professionals, and public health administrators interested in scientific        evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of regular physical        activity on cognitive functioning and general health during the aging        process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Waneen W.
