Phil Watson, Stephen Bailey and Ron Maughan - Focus On Focus: Nutritional Factors Affecting Cognition During Physical Stress

Focus On Focus: Nutritional Factors Affecting Cognition During Physical Stress presents an overview of the impact of specific nutritional factors (e.g.,dehydration, carbohydrate supplementation, etc.) on brain function. Featuring a tutorial lecture from the 2009 ACSM annual meeting, the video explains what cognitive function is and how it is measured and reviews selected studies that detail how it is affected by nutritional factors. The video also discusses the relationship between exercise and cognitive function.
