This textbook focuses on the relationship between physical exercise and cognition, a very timely and important topic with major theoretical and practical implications for a number of areas including ageing, neurorehabilitation, depression and dementia.

The book is divided into three parts: Part I covers the conceptual, theoretical and methodological underpinnings and issues.
