You’ll get an overview of the mechanisms by which we understand how exercise might benefit brain function, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) release, cerebral blood flow changes, and reduced neuroinflammation. Learn about exercise dosing using aerobic and resistance training models, plus integrating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and mindful movement, with practical examples and real-life tips to make exercise more accessible for a variety of clients, including athletes, older adults, and the general population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearning Objectives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefine cognitive functioning and cognitive impairment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the importance of cognitive health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify and describe the cognitive domains most influenced by physical activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain the main mechanisms behind exercise and cognitive benefits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyze the role of exercise intensity in cognitive outcomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAudience\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, or group fitness instructors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabDescription--\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-author\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerence Moriarty, MA, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003eis an assistant professor of kinesiology and physical education at the University of Northern Iowa and completed doctoral training under Dr. Len Kravitz at the University of New Mexico. Moriarty’s research investigates the effects of acute and chronic aerobic and resistance exercise on cerebral oxygenation and cognitive function, using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in healthy and clinical populations. This work also examines the cognitive outcomes of nutritional and supplementation interventions as they relate to exercise and human performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabAuthor--\u003e","brand":"Human Kinetics","offers":[{"title":"Online Course","offer_id":43832056512586,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1281\/4359\/files\/9781718238084.jpg?v=1784739930","url":"https:\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/products\/optimal-exercise-for-improved-cognitive-function-online-ce-course","provider":"Human Kinetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
