Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity and memory functions: an interventional study

TL;DR: It is shown that physical activity conveys the beneficial effects on memory function independently of its intensity, possibly mediated by local gray matter volume and neurotrophic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity and memory functions: are neurotrophins and cerebral gray matter volume the missing link?

TL;DR: It is found that physical activity, but not cardiovascular fitness, was associated with better memory encoding after controlling for age, sex, education, depression, alcohol consumption, and smoking, indicating that even low-level physical activity exerts beneficial effects on memory functions in older individuals.
Journal Article

Can exercise affect immune function to increase susceptibility to infection

TL;DR: This debate article was to solicit opposing arguments centered around this fundamental question in the exercise immunology field: can exercise affect immune function to increase susceptibility to infection and should provide impetus for more empirical research to unravel the complex questions that surround this contentious issue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating microRNAs as potential biomarkers of aerobic exercise capacity.

TL;DR: A potential role for muscle- and heart-specific miRs in cardiovascular adaptation processes after endurance exercise is suggested and their relation to conventional biochemical, cardiovascular, and performance indexes are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise-induced redistribution of T lymphocytes is regulated by adrenergic mechanisms.

TL;DR: Exercise induces a substantial re-distribution of T-cells within lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs and may enhance the immune vigilance in these compartments which serve as the body's major defence barriers, this paper suggests.
