TL;DR: Results of the present study suggest that low to moderate exercise intensity does not alter Executive functioning, but that exercise impairs cognitive functions (Executive and non-Executive) when the physical workload becomes heavy.

TL;DR: This study hypothesized that the older male cohorts would exhibit lower sympathetic transduction compared to the younger males, and compared older and younger males matched for relative V̇O2peak to minimize the potentially confounding influence of aerobic fitness.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the effects of an outdoor nature walk (ONW) to those of virtual nature walks (VRW) on memory and cognitive function in younger adults.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the impact of theoretically reallocating time spent in physical behaviours on aerobic fitness and found that substituting sedentary time with any physical activity (at any intensity) would be associated with a predicted improvement in aerobic fitness.

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of simulated gravity on cerebral hemodynamics and cognition were investigated using a computerized Stroop task and brain oxygen levels were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy, which indicated that an acute bout of simulated microgravity can enhance executive functioning.
