Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and/or structural brain changes in response to resistance exercises and resistance training lead to cognitive improvements – a systematic review
TL;DR: Based on the analyses, resistance exercises and resistance training evoked substantial functional brain changes, especially in the frontal lobe, which were accompanied by improvements in executive functions, which could be crucial for healthy aging that includes preservation of the brain and cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of intermittent hypoxia on cognitive performance and quality of life in elderly adults: a pilot study.
TL;DR: The data of the current study suggest that an additional intermittent hypoxic training combined with physical exercise augments the positive effects of exercise on cognitive performance and QoL in elderly humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Hypoxic training seems to be beneficial to enhance hematological parameters, physical performance and cognitive function in older people and an augmented and sustainable improvement in cognitive function within the IG of the older people only.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of physical exhaustion on gait stability in young and older individuals.
TL;DR: Gait patterns of healthy young but maximal fatigued individuals and gait patterns in submaximal fatigued older adults are analyzed to gain greater insight in the role of fatigue in motor behaviour in older and young adults during walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
