Neurоphysiоlоgicаl Mechаnisms аnd Behavioral Outcomes (25 points) Prompt: Select ONE theory that explains the neurological or physiological changes resulting from acute or chronic exercise that lead to behavioral outcomes. In your response: (a) clearly identify and describe the chosen theory, (b) explain the specific neurophysiological mechanisms involved, (c) connect these mechanisms to observable behavioral changes, and (d) discuss how acute versus chronic exercise may differentially impact these processes within your chosen theoretical framework. Scoring Criteria: Theory identification and description (6 points): Clear naming and accurate explanation of chosen theory Neurophysiological mechanisms (8 points): Detailed explanation of specific biological or physiological pathways Behavioral connections (6 points): Explicit linking of physiological changes to measurable behavioral outcomes with examples Acute vs. chronic differentiation (5 points): Clear distinction between immediate and long-term adaptations within the theoretical framework
