Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
An inability to reduce rising core body temperature can lead to hyperthermia. To reduce body heat, the body must remove metabolically produced heat by sweating (also known as evaporative cooling). Heat dissipation by sweat evaporation can lead to significant bodily water loss. [11] A marathon runner can lose water adding up to about 8% of body ...
Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.
The effect of training on the body has been defined as the reaction to the adaptive responses of the body arising from exercise [3] or as "an elevation of metabolism produced by exercise". [4] Exercise physiologists study the effect of exercise on pathology, and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression.
“Regardless of their current level of physical activity, doing more was better.” So if you regularly work out for 30 minutes, tacking on an additional five minutes of exercise may help you ...
The solute loss can be as much as 350 mmol/d (or 90 mmol/d acclimatised) of sodium under the most extreme conditions. During average intensity exercise, sweat losses can average up to 2 litres (0.44 imp gal; 0.53 US gal) of water/hour. In a cool climate and in the absence of exercise, sodium loss can be very low (less than 5 mmol/d). Sodium ...
A short burst of just about 30 minutes of daily physical activity like brisk walking, cycling to work, or dancing can provide a mental boost to middle-aged people throughout their following day, a ...
Aerobic (resistance) fitness level, a product of cardiovascular exercise, while previously thought to have effect on BMR, has been shown in the 1990s not to correlate with BMR when adjusted for fat-free body mass. [citation needed] But anaerobic exercise does increase resting energy consumption (see "aerobic vs. anaerobic exercise"). [5]
