“…On the other hand, epidemiological studies indicate that exercise can decrease cognitive decay associated to aging (Kramer et al, 1999) and is inherently beneficial for reducing the risk of various diseases (Friedland et al, 2001;Laurin et al, 2001). Experimental studies show that exercise can improve cognitive function in both young and aged animals (Radak et al, 2001;Churchill et al, 2002). Although the potential of exercise to protect against neurological damage is well recognized, the capacity of exercise to interact with specific molecular systems impacted by insult has not been experimentally scrutinized.…”

“…Studies involving humans and animals have indicated that engaging in thirty minutes of exercise for a minimum of three times a week will result in increased blood flood and brain mass, improved circulation and cognition, as well as a heightened mood (Adlard, Perreau, Engesser-Cesar, & Cotman, 2003;Churchill et al, 2002;Markakis & Gage, 1999;Sutoo & Akiyama, 2003;Tomporowski, 2003;Van Praag, Kempermann, & Gage, 1999). Cotman's (2015) work with rodents revealed that exercise both "increases the numbers of synapses, counteracting the synaptic loss that occurs with age," as well as "stimulates the brain to generate more neurons" (p. 1).…”

I would like to convey my thanks to my colleagues, Frances Duffy and SusanGleeson, for their willingness to listen, read and suggest improvements related to the study and dissertation. In addition, I want to extend my appreciation to Dr. Rockford Sansom for lending his expertise, examining my work and providing an external perspective regarding my study. Additionally, I want to thank my students for their willingness to participate in the study and offer their insights with regard to how this approach affected their learning and how it might be modified to improve the rhythmic learning of other singers. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this qualitative study was to collect descriptive data pertaining to students' perceptions regarding the use of tap dance movement and its effect on the understanding of rhythms found in choral literature. This enquiry investigated the following questions: (a) What are the perceptions of high school students regarding the difficulty of tap dance movement? (b) What are the perceptions of high school students regarding the effectiveness of tap dance movement as a method toward promoting their rhythm accuracy when performing rhythms featured in choral music? (c) What are the perceptions of high school students regarding the effectiveness of integrating tap dance movement with the study of select rhythm patterns chosen from choral literature in their retention of the rhythms? Over a five-month period, high school choral ensemble members (N = 88) were taught twenty-five rhythm patterns excerpted from choral literature, integrating tap dance movement with the instruction. The results revealed that the difficulty level of the movement, tempo at which it is executed, the changing of feet while performing the movement, and the amount of tap experience an individual possesses influence students' perceptions regarding the degree of complexity of tap dance viii movement. Additionally, the data indicate the enjoyment of the movement, the demonstrations of the movement, the integration of music with the movement, the use of step names and counting, and the use of tap shoes are elements related to tap dance movement that students perceived to help promote their understanding of rhythms found in choral music. Moreover, the results pertaining to the students' perception of how tap dance movement was an effective method of promoting their retention of rhythms found in choral music indicate a lack of agreement. While there were singers who found the movement to benefit their ability to memorize the examined rhythms, there was a comparable amount of students who indicated that they were unable to remember the rhythms following the instruction. Lastly, the findings provide information regarding the specific types of movements that students found beneficial to their rhythmic comprehension, adding to the existing literature and useful for replication in future Baudin (2011) substantiated the idea that "Rhythmic movement is a part of nature" (p. 1). Baudin explained that rhythmic movement is "a very primitive...

“…Neurotransmitters en neurotrofines, stoffen die belangrijk zijn voor de plasticiteit van de hersenen (Hennigan, O'Callaghan & Kelly, 2007), worden gestimuleerd als gevolg van fysieke activiteit en leiden tot de aanmaak van nieuwe hersencellen (neurogenese) en verbindingen tussen hersencellen (synaptogenese) (Churchill et al, 2002). Zo maken muizen na het rennen in tredmolens nieuwe hersencellen aan in de gyrus dendatus (Van Praag, Kempermann & Gage, 1999).…”

De vergrijzing van de populatie heeft geresulteerd in een grote toename van ouderen met dementie. De bestaande medicamenteuze therapieën voor dementie richten zich op de behandeling van symptomen en een zoektocht naar nieuwe behandelwijzen is volop gaande. Er is ook steeds meer aandacht voor activiteiten die het ontstaan en het verloop van dementie zouden kunnen vertragen. Eén zo'n vorm van activiteit die vooral de laatste paar jaar veel aandacht heeft gekregen, is lichamelijke activiteit.Lichamelijke activiteit, cognitie en dementie
