Neural correlates of approach and avoidance tendencies toward physical activity and sedentary stimuli: An fMRI study

Boris Cheval, Léonardo Ceravolo, Kinga Iglói, David Sander, Myriam Ophelia Zimmermann, Peter van Ruitenbeek, Matthieu P. Boisgontier

This study uses fMRI to investigate brain regions associated with approach and avoidance tendencies toward physical activity and sedentary stimuli, finding distinct neural correlates for each behavior.

Genetic insights into the causal relationship between physical activity and cognitive functioning

Boris Cheval, Liza Darrous, Karmel W. Choi, Yann C. Klimentidis, David A. Raichlen, Gene E. Alexander, Stéphane Cullati, Zoltán Kutalik, Matthieu P. Boisgontier

This study uses Mendelian randomization to show that moderate and vigorous physical activity causally improve cognitive functioning, but not average activity or reverse effects.

Avoiding sedentary behaviors requires more cortical resources than avoiding physical activity: An EEG study

Boris Cheval, Eda Tipura, Nicolas Burra, Jaromil Frossard, Julien P. Chanal, Dan Orsholits, Rémi Radel, Matthieu P. Boisgontier

The paper uses EEG to compare cortical activity during approach and avoidance of physical activity and sedentary behaviors, finding that avoiding sedentary behaviors requires more cognitive resources.

Behavioral and neural evidence of the rewarding value of exercise behaviors: A systematic review

Boris Cheval, Rémi Radel, Jason L. Neva, Lara A. Boyd, Stephan Patrick Swinnen, David Sander, Matthieu P. Boisgontier

This review examines automatic reactions to exercise and sedentary behaviors, finding physical activity as a reward but limited evidence for sedentary behaviors as a reward.
