Effects of Ramadan on cognitive functions in young boys by Amira Miladi, Mohamed Ali Saafi, Imed Latiri

“…The current study, conducted with healthy children/adolescents, indicates that Ramadan fasting had no impact on various reaction times (SRT, CRT, NPRT), suggesting the preservation of information processing speed and decision-making, even in the face of increased task complexity. This is evident, on the one hand, through the maintenance of the ability to react to unexpected events, and, on the other hand, through the mastery of resistance to automatism, thus reflecting the preservation of inhibitory function (NPRT). …”

Effects of 12 weeks of Head-Down Strong Abdominal Breathing Training on Gait and Cognitive Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Song F, Ding K, Sun W, Huang Q, Jiang R, Xiang H, Sun M

“…At the same time, we also found that there was no statistical difference in the gait performance of each group in the walking task (P > 0.05). In terms of cognition, cognitive function scores(MoCA) were significantly higher in HDBT (P< 0.001) HDT (P< 0.001), and BT (P< 0.001) compared to baseline.Conclusion: A 12-week HDBT program elevated cognitive function and improved stride length and speed metrics during an obstacle walking task in patients with stable COPD.Clinical Trial Registration Number: chictr2400080452(30/01/2024).Plain Language Summary: Why was this study done?…”

The correlation between muscle strength, inhibitory function, and cognitive function in older adults with cognitive impairment: evidence from resting-state electroencephalography by Mi Hu, Xing Wang

“…Assessments included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Stroop task, grip strength, and resting-state EEG.ResultsInhibitory control was significantly related to cognitive function: accuracy in congruent (r = 0.599, p < 0.001) and incongruent (r = 0.474, p < 0.001) conditions correlated positively with MoCA scores, while response times in both conditions showed negative correlations (r = –0.475 and –0.354, respectively, p < 0.001). …”
