Cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, and cerebral oxygenation during a dual-task in healthy young males

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) on the prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation and dual-task performance in healthy young males. Changes in the concentration of oxygenated …

Working memory, cognitive load and cardiorespiratory fitness: Testing the CRUNCH model with near-infrared spectroscopy

The present study aimed to examine the effects of chronological age and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on cognitive performance and prefrontal cortex activity, and to test the compensation-related utilization of neural circuits hypothesis (CRUNCH). …

Acute exercise stress reveals cerebrovascular benefits associated with moderate gains in cardiorespiratory fitness

Elevated cardiorespiratory fitness improves resting cerebral perfusion, although to what extent this is further amplified during acute exposure to exercise stress and the corresponding implications for cerebral oxygenation remain unknown. To examine …
