Michelle W. Voss,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Kirk I. Erickson,Chandramallika Basak,Laura Chaddock,Jennifer S. Kim,Heloisa Alves,Susie Heo,Amanda N. Szabo,Siobhan M. White,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Neha P. Gothe,Erin A. Olson,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +15 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence for exercise-induced functional plasticity in large-scale brain systems in the aging brain, using functional connectivity techniques, and offers new insight into the role of aerobic fitness in attenuating age-related brain dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobiological markers of exercise-related brain plasticity in older adults
Michelle W. Voss,Kirk I. Erickson,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Laura Chaddock,Jennifer S. Kim,Heloisa Alves,Amanda N. Szabo,Siobhan M. Phillips,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Erin A. Olson,Neha P. Gothe,Victoria J. Vieira-Potter,Stephen A. Martin,Brandt D. Pence,Marc D. Cook,Jeffrey A. Woods,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +18 more
TL;DR: Results are consistent with animal models of exercise and the brain, but are the first to show in humans that exercise-induced increases in temporal lobe functional connectivity are associated with changes in growth factors and may be augmented by greater baseline VEGF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-regulatory processes and exercise adherence in older adults: executive function and self-efficacy effects.
Edward McAuley,Sean P. Mullen,Amanda N. Szabo,Siobhan M. White,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Neha P. Gothe,Erin A. Olson,Michelle W. Voss,Kirk I. Erickson,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Arthur F. Kramer +11 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of executive function and use of self-regulatory strategies at the start of an exercise program enhance beliefs in exercise capabilities, which in turn leads to greater adherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring enjoyment of physical activity in older adults: invariance of the physical activity enjoyment scale (paces) across groups and time
Sean P. Mullen,Erin A. Olson,Siobhan M. Phillips,Amanda N. Szabo,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Emily L. Mailey,Neha P. Gothe,Jason Fanning,Arthur F. Kramer,Edward McAuley +9 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to validate the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) in a sample of older adults, and group and longitudinal invariance was established for a novel, 8-item version of the PACES.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitness, but not physical activity, is related to functional integrity of brain networks associated with aging.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the positive association of fitness with brain function can occur independent of habitual physical activity, and provide further support that cardiorespiratory fitness is an important factor in moderating the adverse effects of aging on cognitively and clinically relevant functional brain networks.
