The present study has two objectives: 1) to verify the effect of Maitland mobilization, manual massage (MM), and static stretching (SS) on the acute range-of-motion (ROM) responses, over 30 min, in the elderly; 2) to verify the effect of Maitland's mobilization, MM, and SS on blood pressure (BP) responses, over 60 min, in the elderly. Sixteen inactive elderly men were recruited. After familiarization, all subjects performed the experimental conditions throughout four remaining sessions.

Purpose: While exercise was found to affect cognitive performance in adolescents, the underlying mechanisms need to be considered. This study compared the effect of a 20 min game-based exercise with different intensities on hormonal responses and potential links to cognitive performance.
Methods: 37 adolescents (24 girls and 13 boys; 15-16 years of age) were randomly assigned into light intensity (LIG; 58.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different types of physical exercise training (coordinative vs. cardiovascular) affect cognitive skills, particularly visuospatial processing and math abilities, in adolescents.
- 135 adolescents aged 12-15 were divided into three groups (coordinative exercise, cardiovascular exercise, and control) and assessed on cognitive tests and cortisol levels over a 10-week intervention.
- Results showed improved reaction times across all groups, with the coordinative exercise group seeing better accuracy and enhanced math skills, but no significant changes in cortisol levels or its relationship with cognitive performance were found.
- Future research is suggested to explore factors influencing the connection between exercise, cortisol, and cognitive abilities.

It has been previously shown that the implicit affiliation motive - the need to establish and maintain friendly relationships with others - leads to chronic health benefits. The underlying assumption for the present research was that the implicit affiliation motive also moderates the salivary cortisol response to acute psychological stress when some aspects of social evaluation and uncontrollability are involved. By contrast we did not expect similar effects in response to exercise as a physical stressor.
