  2. 1. Active workstations : a NEAT way to prevent and treat overweight and obesity?

    Author : Frida Bergman; Tommy Olsson; Ann Sörlin; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Patrik Wennberg; Fredrik Öhberg; Mats Börjesson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; treadmill workstations; sedentary behaviour; light-intensity physical activity; non-exercise activity thermogenesis; office workers; obesity;

    Abstract : Background: Modern society is triggering sedentary behaviours in different domains. Different strategies can be used to reduce the time spent sitting and increase physical activity in the office environment, which is one domain where sedentary time is often high. One such strategy could be to install treadmill workstations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Movement Behaviors and Cognitive Health for Office Workers

    Author : Emil Bojsen-Møller; Maria Ekblom; Jonna Nilsson; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Teresa Liu-Ambrose; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Movement behavior; Physical activity; Sedentary behavior; cognitive functions; neuroplasticity; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : The lifetime trajectories of movement behavior and cognitive functioning depend on complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. There is substantial evidence suggesting that physical activity benefits cognitive functions. However, how sedentary behavior and the composition of movement behaviors (i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aerobic fitness and healthy brain aging : cognition, brain structure, and dopamine

    Author : Lars Jonasson; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Katrine Riklund; Emrah Düzel; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aerobic exercise; VO2; working memory; executive function; freesurfer; striatum; dopamine; D2-receptors; [11C]raclopride;

    Abstract : Background: Performing aerobic exercise and maintaining high levels of aerobic fitness may have positive effects on both brain structure and function in older adults. Despite decades of research however, there is still a rather poor understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms explaining the positive effects of aerobic exercise on cognition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Rehabilitation for improved cognition in stress-related exhaustion : cognitive, neural and clinical perspectives

    Author : Hanna Malmberg Gavelin; Anna Stigsdotter Neely; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Ingibjörg Jonsdottir; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Stress-related exhaustion disorder (ED) has been associated with concomitant cognitive impairment, perceived by patients to have large impact on everyday life. However, little is known about how to address cognition in stress rehabilitation and how this could influence stress recovery over time. READ MORE

  7. 5. Brain function and glucocorticoids in obesity and type 2 diabetes including effects of lifestyle interventions

    Author : Andreas Stomby; Tommy Olsson; Mats Ryberg; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Alasdair MacLullich; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; type 2 diabetes; glucocorticoid; cortisol; 11beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; episodic memory; functional magnetic resonance imaging; paleolithic diet; exercise; Internal Medicine; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Background Obesity and associated metabolic dysregulation are linked to impaired cognitive function and alterations in brain structure, which increases the risk of age-related dementia. Increased glucocorticoid (GC) exposure may be a potential mediator of these negative effects on the brain. READ MORE
