It has been well established in epidemiological studies and randomized controlled trials that
habitual exercise is beneficial for brain health, such as cognition and mental health …

There is considerable utility in the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) to assess
cerebrovascular function. The brain is unique in its high energy and oxygen demand but …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and its distribution are highly sensitive to changes in the partial
pressure of arterial CO2 (PaCO2). This physiological response, termed cerebrovascular …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the elderly
population. It is predicted that the incidence of AD will be increased in the future making this …

We conducted a systematic review and meta-regression analysis to quantify effects of
exercise on brain hemodynamics measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The …

Blood flow (BF) increases with increasing exercise intensity in skeletal, respiratory, and
cardiac muscle. In humans during maximal exercise intensities, 85% to 90% of total cardiac …

Concussion affects the autonomic nervous system and its control of cerebral blood flow,
which may be why uncontrolled activity can exacerbate symptoms after concussion …

Objective: Some patients with postconcussion syndrome (PCS) have reduced exercise
capacity that may reflect altered central cardiorespiratory control. The purpose of this study …

Regular exercise has systemic beneficial effects, including the promotion of brain function.
The adaptive response to regular exercise involves the up-regulation of the enzymatic …

Ageing is the primary risk factor for cognitive deterioration. Given that the cerebral blood flow
(CBF) or regulation of cerebral circulation is attenuated in the elderly, it could be expected …
