The public health problem of physical inactivity has proven resistant to research efforts
aimed at elucidating its causes and interventions designed to alter its course. Thus, in most …

This article provides a snapshot of muscle near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at the end of
2010 summarizing the recent literature, offering the present status and perspectives of the …

Neuroergonomics is an emerging science that is defined as the study of the human brain in
relation to performance at work and in everyday settings. This paper provides a critical …

We present here a comprehensive, neurocognitive model to account for the psychological
consequences of acute exercise. There is a substantial amount of disparate research and …

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

INVOLVEMENT OF THE BRAIN in endurance exercise regulation is not a particularly new
concept. Although exercise termination has been proposed to occur when generation of the …

The assessment of physiological changes associated with brain activity has become
possible by optical methods, such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). NIRS is a useful …

The interactive effect of exercise intensity and task difficulty on human cognitive processing
was investigated using the P3 component of an event-related brain potential (ERP) …

During exercise, fatigue is defined as a reversible reduction in force-or power-generating
capacity and can be elicited by “central” and/or “peripheral” mechanisms. During skeletal …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows non-invasive monitoring of central and peripheral
changes in oxygenation during exercise and may provide valuable insight into the factors …
