Aging process, cognitive decline and Alzheimer`s disease: can strength training modulate these responses?
Eduardo Matta Mello Portugal,Poliane Gomes Torres Vasconcelos,Renata Souza,Eduardo Lattari,Renato Sobral Monteiro-Junior,Sergio A.S. Machado,Andrea Camaz Deslandes +6 more
TL;DR: The effects of strength training in elderly people and Alzheimer`s disease patients were revised and a biological explanation relating to strength training effects on the brain is proposed, infer that strength training can be related to increased neurogenesis, neuroplasticity and, consequently, counteracts aging effects onThe brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
