Regular physical exercise is associated with substantial health
benefits. Recent evidence not only holds for cardiovascular effects
promoting "physical health," but also for the central nervous
system believed to promote "brain health." Moderate physical
exercise has been found to improve learning, memory, and
attentional processing, with recent research indicating that
neuroprotective mechanisms and associated plasticity in brain
structure and function also benefit. Physical exercise is also
known to induce a range of acute or sustained psychophysiological
effects, among these mood elevation, stress reduction, anxiolysis,
and hypoalgesia. Today, modern functional neuroimaging techniques
afford direct measurement of the acute and chronic relation of
physical exercise on the human brain, as well as the correlation of
the derived physiological in vivo signals with behavioral outcomes
recorded during and after exercise. A wide range of imaging
techniques have been applied to human exercise research, ranging
from electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG),
near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
to positron emission tomography (PET). All of these imaging methods
provide distinct information, and they differ considerably in terms
of spatial and temporal resolution, availability, cost, and
associated risks. However, from a "multimodal imaging" perspective,
neuroimaging provides an unprecedented potential to unravel the
neurobiology of human exercise, covering a wide spectrum ranging
from structural plasticity in gray and white matter, network
dynamics, global and regional perfusion, evoked neuronal responses
to the quantification of neurotransmitter release. The aim of this
book is to provide the current state of the human neuroimaging
literature in the emerging field of the neurobiological exercise
sciences and to outline future applications and directions of
research.
