Abstract Background General cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Domain-specific cognitive impairments include deficits in working memory (WM), cognitive flexibility, verbal memory, planning and psychomotor speed. These impairments may be associated with poor health behaviours, such as a sedentary lifestyle and low-quality diet. Cognitive training may reverse these effects. Recent evidence suggests that WM training is linked to self-control and, indirectly, to improved lifestyle behaviour including increased physical activity. We aim to investigate the efficacy of WM training (WMT) in patients with COPD on cognitive performance, cognitive stress susceptibility and perception, self-control, and adherence to personalised physical activity and dietary behaviour goals. Methods A double blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial will be conducted in 60 patients with COPD. The trial will consist of two phases; 12 weeks of active WM training or sham training followed by 12 weeks of maintenance. Prior to the WMT, before the first phase, participants in both the sham (n=30) and training group (n=30) will set dietary and physical activity goals based on their dietary intake and physical activity profile using validated tools. Cognitive performance will be examined using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. The primary outcome of this study will be change in cognitive performance. Secondary outcomes will be self-control (impulsivity), compliance, stress susceptibility and perception, change in dietary intake and daily physical activity level and pattern. Discussion This trial will attempt to determine if cognitive performance can be improved in patients with COPD by WMT. Moreover, WM plays a key role in self-regulation of behaviour, i.e. resisting hedonic impulses in exchange for more deliberate evaluations and the achievement of long-term goals. Therefore, we expect that WMT will also have a positive impact on health behaviours. Registration Clinicaltrials.gov registration: NCT03073954

Research Questions

This review paper aimed to undertake an extensive exploration of the extent, range, and nature of research activities regarding the effect and emerging evidence in the field of physical activity interventions on cognitive development among children and youth (0–17.99 years) with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), and to help identify key gaps in research and determine precise research questions for future investigations. To carry out this scoping review, five electronic databases were searched. A total of 12,097 articles were retrieved via search efforts with an additional 93 articles identified from the identified review papers. Sixty articles were eligible for inclusion. The results of this scoping review revealed many positive key cognitive outcomes related to physical activity including, but not limited to: focus, attention, self-control, cognitive process, and alertness. No studies reported a negative association between physical activity and cognitive outcomes. Based on the findings from this scoping review, physical activity appears to have a favorable impact on the cognitive outcomes of children and youth with NDD.

This three-arm randomised controlled trial evaluated whether (1) a multi-component weight loss intervention targeting diet, physical activity (PA), and sleep was effective at improving dietary intake over six months and 12 months, compared with a control, and (2) the enhanced diet, PA, and sleep intervention was more effective at improving dietary intake than the traditional diet and PA intervention. A total of 116 adults (70% female, 44.5 years, BMI 31.7 kg/m2) were randomised to either traditional diet and PA intervention; enhanced diet, PA, and sleep intervention; or wait-list control. To examine between-group differences, intervention groups were pooled and compared with the control. Then, the two intervention groups were compared. At six months, the pooled intervention group consumed 1011 fewer kilojoules/day (95% CI −1922, −101), less sodium (−313.2 mg/day; 95% CI −591.3, −35.0), and higher %EI from fruit (+2.1%EI; 95% CI 0.1, 4.1) than the controls. There were no differences in intake between the enhanced and traditional groups at six months. At 12 months, the pooled intervention and control groups reported no significant differences. However, compared to the traditional group, the enhanced reported higher %EI from nutrient-dense foods (+7.4%EI; 95% CI 1.3, 13.5) and protein (+2.4%EI; 95% CI 0.1, 4.6), and reduced %EI from fried/takeaway foods (−3.6%EI; 95% CI −6.5, −0.7), baked sweet products (−2.0%EI; 95% CI −3.6, −0.4), and packaged snacks (−1.1%EI; 95% CI −2.2, −0.3). This weight loss intervention reduced total energy and sodium intakes as well as increased fruit intake in adults at six months. The enhanced intervention group reported improved dietary intake relative to the traditional group at 12 months.
