Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results suggest that specific regions of the DLPFC differentially relate to inhibition and spatial working memory in healthy older adults, and fitness may influence cognitive function by reducing brain atrophy in targeted areas inhealthy older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional connectivity: a source of variance in the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and cognition?
Michelle W. Voss,Kirk I. Erickson,Ruchika Shaurya Prakash,Laura Chaddock,Edward Malkowski,Heloisa Alves,Jennifer S. Kim,Katherine S. Morris,Siobhan M. White,Thomas R. Wójcicki,Liang Hu,Amanda N. Szabo,Emily L. Klamm,Edward McAuley,Arthur F. Kramer +14 more
TL;DR: The first evidence for functional connectivity as a source of variance in the association between aerobic fitness and cognition is provided, and results are discussed in the context of neurobiological theories of cognitive aging and disease.
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
Internet intervention for increasing physical activity in persons with multiple sclerosis.
TL;DR: This pilot study sets the stage for a subsequent RCT that includes a larger sample of persons with MS, longer intervention period along with a follow-up, objective measure of physical activity, and secondary outcomes of walking mobility and QOL.
