The Human Brain - Exercise

In a sedentary group of people aged 60 to 75, University of Illinois researchers introduced them to a fitness regime. For six months the elders had either an aerobic or non-aerobic workout for up to 90 minutes, three times a week. "We chose couch potatoes," said the study's lead author, cognitive neuroscientist Arthur Kramer. The 214 healthy adults hadn't been involved in any physical exercise for the previous 5 to 10 years. "Indeed most of our subjects hadn't done any formal exercise for more like 30 or 40 years." http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/exercise.html

http://www.guidetopsychology.com/txtypes.htm S USED throughout this website, psychotherapy can be defined as follows: On this website, the “professional” in the above definition will be assumed to be a psychologist , although other mental health practitioners may be licensed to conduct psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, as defined here, has ethics which can be distinguished from the ethics of counseling that focus on helping a person solve “normal” problems. Although medications may be used in conjunction with psychotherapy, for present purposes medication will not be considered the essence of psychotherapy, because psychotherapy really depends on the use of the client’s own mental experiences to bring about the desired changes. C learly, in the above definition, “adaptive” is a very subjective concept.
