@article{26719, abstract = {{AbstractThe interaction of acute exercise and the central nervous system evokes increasing interest in interdisciplinary research fields of neuroscience. Novel approaches allow to monitor large-scale brain networks from mobile electroencephalography (EEG) applying graph theory, but it is yet uncertain whether brain graphs extracted after exercise are reliable. We therefore aimed to investigate brain graph reliability extracted from resting state EEG data before and after submaximal exercise twice within one week in male participants. To obtain graph measures, we extracted global small-world-index (SWI), clustering coefficient (CC) and characteristic path length (PL) based on weighted phase leg index (wPLI) and spectral coherence (Coh) calculation. For reliability analysis, Intraclass-Correlation-Coefficient (ICC) and Coefficient of Variation (CoV) were computed for graph measures before (REST) and after POST) exercise. Overall results revealed poor to excellent measures at PRE and good to excellent ICCs at POST in the theta, alpha-1 and alpha-2, beta-1 and beta-2 frequency band. Based on bootstrap-analysis, a positive effect of exercise on reliability of wPLI based measures was observed, while exercise induced a negative effect on reliability of Coh-based graph measures. Findings indicate that brain graphs are a reliable tool to analyze brain networks in exercise contexts, which might be related to the neuroregulating effect of exercise inducing functional connections within the connectome. Relative and absolute reliability demonstrated good to excellent reliability after exercise. Chosen graph measures may not only allow analysis of acute, but also longitudinal studies in exercise-scientific contexts. }}, author = {{Büchel, Daniel and Lehmann, Tim and Sandbakk, Øyvind and Baumeister, Jochen}}, issn = {{2045-2322}}, journal = {{Scientific Reports}}, title = {{{EEG-derived brain graphs are reliable measures for exploring exercise-induced changes in brain networks}}}, doi = {{10.1038/s41598-021-00371-x}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{26117, author = {{Büchel, Daniel and Lehmann, Tim and Ullrich, Sarah and Cockcroft, John and Louw, Quinette and Baumeister, Jochen}}, journal = {{Experimental Brain Research}}, number = {{1193-1202}}, title = {{{Stance leg and surface stability modulate cortical activity during human single leg stance}}}, volume = {{239}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{48035, abstract = {{BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest better visual-spatial processing when participants are tested in postures in which dynamic stability is challenged.

Athletes younger than 25 years who return to sports have a second injury rate of 23%. There may be a mismatch between rehabilitation contents and the demands an athlete faces after returning to sports. Current return-to-sports (RTS) tests utilize closed and predictable motor skills; however, demands on the field are different. Neurocognitive functions are essential to manage dynamic sport situations and may fluctuate after peripheral injuries. Most RTS and rehabilitation paradigms appear to lack this aspect, which might be linked to increased risk of second injury. Objective: This systematic and scoping review aims to map existing evidence about neurocognitive and neurophysiological functions in athletes, which could be linked to ACL injury in an integrated fashion and bring an extensive perspective to assessment and rehabilitation approaches. Data Sources: PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched to identify relevant studies published between 2005 and 2020 using the keywords ACL, brain, cortical, neuroplasticity, cognitive, cognition, neurocognition, and athletes. Study Selection: Studies investigating either neurocognitive or neurophysiological functions in athletes and linking these to ACL injury regardless of their design and technique were included. Study Design: Systematic review. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Data Extraction: The demographic, temporal, neurological, and behavioral data revealing possible injury-related aspects were extracted and summarized. Results: A total of 16 studies were included in this review. Deficits in different neurocognitive domains and changes in neurophysiological functions could be a predisposing risk factor for, or a consequence caused by, ACL injuries. Conclusion: Clinicians should view ACL injuries not only as a musculoskeletal but also as a neural lesion with neurocognitive and neurophysiological aspects. Rehabilitation and RTS paradigms should consider these changes for assessment and interventions after injury. }}, author = {{Piskin, Daghan Yuksel and Benjaminse, Anne and Dimitrakis, Panagiotis and Gokeler, Alli}}, issn = {{1941-7381}}, journal = {{Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach}}, keywords = {{Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine}}, number = {{4}}, pages = {{549--555}}, publisher = {{SAGE Publications}}, title = {{{Neurocognitive and Neurophysiological Functions Related to ACL Injury: A Framework for Neurocognitive Approaches in Rehabilitation and Return-to-Sports Tests}}}, doi = {{10.1177/19417381211029265}}, volume = {{14}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{28862, author = {{Grimminger-Seidensticker, Elke and Vieille Marchiset, G. and Knobé, S. and Aceti, M.}}, journal = {{SociologieS.}}, title = {{{Des arbitrages éthiques face aux injonctions à la pratique physique dans les programmes de promotion de la santé : le cas des familles populaires en Europe}}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inbook{35504, author = {{Grimminger-Seidensticker, Elke and Brandl-Bredenbeck, Hans Peter and Gerlach, Erin and Krieger, Claus}}, booktitle = {{Sportpädagogik.

Therefore, the purpose was 1) to detect DT effects of central gait parameters obtained from five different gait analysis devices in young and old adults, 2) to assess the consistency of the measurement systems, and 3) to determine if the absolut and proportional DT costs (DTC) are greater than the system-measurement error under ST. Methods Twelve old (72.2 ± 7.9y) and 14 young adults (28.3 ± 6.2y) walked a 14.7-m distance under ST and DT at a self-selected gait velocity. Interrater reliability, precision of the measurement and sensitivity to change were calculated under ST and DT. Results An age effect was observed in almost all gait parameters for the ST condition. For DT only differences for stride length (p < .029, ɳ2p = .239) as well as single and double limb support (p = .036, ɳ2p = .227; p = .034, ɳ2p = .218) remained. The measurement systems showed a lower absolute agreement compared to consistency across all systems. Conclusions When reporting DT effects, the real changes in performance and random measurement errors should always be accounted for. These findings have strong implications for interpreting DT effects. }}, author = {{Klotzbier, Thomas Jürgen and Wollesen, Bettina and Vogel, Oliver and Rudisch, Julian and Cordes, Thomas and Jöllenbeck, Thomas and Vogt, Lutz}}, issn = {{1813-7253}}, journal = {{European Review of Aging and Physical Activity}}, keywords = {{Geriatrics and Gerontology}}, number = {{1}}, publisher = {{Springer Science and Business Media LLC}}, title = {{{An interrater reliability study of gait analysis systems with the dual task paradigm in healthy young and older adults}}}, doi = {{10.1186/s11556-021-00271-z}}, volume = {{18}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{40598, author = {{Rudisch, Julian and Jöllenbeck, Thomas and Vogt, Lutz and Cordes, Thomas and Klotzbier, Thomas Jürgen and Vogel, Oliver and Wollesen, Bettina}}, issn = {{0966-6362}}, journal = {{Gait & Posture}}, keywords = {{Rehabilitation, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Biophysics}}, pages = {{55--64}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Agreement and consistency of five different clinical gait analysis systems in the assessment of spatiotemporal gait parameters}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.01.013}}, volume = {{85}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{30119, abstract = {{Abstract Background Subjective Memory Complaints (SMC) in elderly people due to preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease may be associated with dysregulation of the Kynurenine Pathway (KP), with an increase in neurotoxic metabolites that affect cognition. Golf is a challenging sport with high demands on motor, sensory, and cognitive abilities, which might bear the potential to attenuate the pathological changes of preclinical AD. This trial investigated the feasibility of learning to play golf for elderly with cognitive problems and its effects on cognitive functions and the KP. Methods In a 22-week single-blinded randomized controlled trial, elderly people with SMC were allocated to the golf (n = 25, 180 min training/week) or control group (n = 21). Primary outcomes were feasibility (golf exam, adherence, adverse events) and general cognitive function (Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale). Secondary outcomes include specific cognitive functions (Response Inhibition, Corsi Block Tapping Test, Trail Making Test), KP metabolites and physical performance (6-Minute-Walk-Test). Baseline-adjusted Analysis-of-Covariance was conducted for each outcome. Results 42 participants were analyzed. All participants that underwent the golf exam after the intervention passed it (20/23). Attendance rate of the golf intervention was 75 %. No adverse events or drop-outs related to the intervention occurred. A significant time*group interaction (p = 0.012, F = 7.050, Cohen’s d = 0.89) was found for correct responses on the Response Inhibition task, but not for ADAS-Cog. Moreover, a significant time*group interaction for Quinolinic acid to Tryptophan ratios (p = 0.022, F = 5.769, Cohen’s d = 0.84) in favor of the golf group was observed. An uncorrected negative correlation between attendance rate and delta Quinolinic acid to Kynurenic acid ratios in the golf group (p = 0.039, r=-0.443) was found as well. Conclusions The findings indicate that learning golf is feasible and safe for elderly people with cognitive problems. Preliminary results suggest positive effects on attention and the KP. To explore the whole potential of golfing and its effect on cognitive decline, a larger cohort should be studied over a longer period with higher cardiovascular demands.

However, the influence on dedifferentiated involvement of wider and more unspecialized brain regions during task completion is barely understood. We analyzed EEG data recorded during rest and different tasks (sensory, motor, cognitive) with dynamic mode decomposition, which accounts for topological characteristics as well as temporal dynamics of brain networks. As a main feature the dominant spatio-temporal EEG pattern was extracted in multiple frequency bands per participant. To deduce a pattern’s stability, we calculated its proportion of total variance among all activation patterns over time for each task. By comparing fit (N = 15) and less fit older adults (N = 16) characterized by their performance on a 6-min walking test, we found signs of a lower task specificity of the obtained network features for the less fit compared to the fit group. This was indicated by fewer significant differences between tasks in the theta and high beta frequency band in the less fit group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that a significantly lower proportion of total variance can be explained by the main pattern in high beta frequency range for the less fit compared to the fit group [F(1,29) = 12.572, p = .001, partial η2 = .300]. Our results indicate that the dedifferentiation in task-related brain activation is lower in fit compared to less fit older adults.
