Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardiorespiratory, Musculoskeletal, and Neuromotor Fitness in Apparently Healthy Adults: Guidance for Prescribing Exercise

TL;DR: The recommended quantity and quality of exercise for developing and maintaining Cardiorespiratory and Muscular Fitness, and Flexibility in healthy adults is discussed in the position stand of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the effects of physical activity and exercise on cognitive and brain functions in older adults.

TL;DR: Results from cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies with healthy older adults, frail patients, and persons suffering from mild cognitive impairment and dementia suggest that physical exercise is a promising nonpharmaceutical intervention to prevent age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical exercise as a preventive or disease-modifying treatment of dementia and brain aging

TL;DR: Examination of published evidence of a cognitive neuroprotective effect of exercise found that physical exercise may also attenuate cognitive decline via mitigation of cerebrovascular risk, including the contribution of small vessel disease to dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial effects of physical exercise on neuroplasticity and cognition.

TL;DR: The results suggest that physical exercise may trigger processes facilitating neuroplasticity and, thereby, enhances an individual's capacity to respond to new demands with behavioral adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analytic review of the effects of exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor

TL;DR: Effect size analysis supports the role of exercise as a strategy for enhancing BDNF activity in humans, but indicates that the magnitude of these effects may be lower in females relative to males.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
