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 …

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 …

Impaired cerebral haemodynamic function associated with chronic traumatic brain injury in professional boxers

The present study examined to what extent professional boxing compromises cerebral haemodynamic function and its association with CTBI (chronic traumatic brain injury). A total of 12 male professional boxers were compared with 12 age-, gender- and …

Prefrontal cortex activation during story encoding/ retrieval: A multi-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Encoding, storage and retrieval constitute three fundamental stages in information processing and memory. They allow for the creation of new memory traces, the maintenance and the consolidation of these traces over time, and the access and recover of …
