TLDR
It is suggested that women's executive processes may benefit more from exercise than men, and aerobic training led to greater benefits than resistance training in global cognitive function and executive functions, while multimodal combinedTraining led togreat benefits than aerobic training for global Cognitive function, episodic memory, and word fluency.

The impact of physical activity and sex differences on intraindividual variability in inhibitory performance in older adults.

Delphine Fagot, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the negative impact of sedentariness on cognitive performance in older age is stronger for females, underline the need to consider sex differences in active aging approaches.

Sabrina Swenson, +4 more
- 15 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: Mechanisms, epigenetics and sex differences are examined and discussed in terms of future research implications and it is shown how exercise could be utilized for effective treatments or adjunct treatments for these diseases.

Sexual dimorphism of physical activity on cognitive aging: Role of immune functioning.

Kaitlin B. Casaletto, +12 more
- 01 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: Greater physical activity was associated with lower markers of inflammation in clinically normal older men, but not women - an effect consistently replicated across cohorts - and men appeared disproportionately vulnerable to the adverse effects of peripheral inflammatory markers on brain structure and function.

Synergistic Effects of Cognitive Training and Physical Exercise on Dual-Task Performance in Older Adults.

Louis Bherer, +12 more
- 13 Sep 2021 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest that the combination of cognitive and physical training protocols exerted a synergistic effect on task-set cost which reflects the cost of maintaining multiple response alternatives, whereas cognitive training specifically improved dual-task cost, whichreflects the ability of synchronizing concurrent tasks.

Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory

Kirk I. Erickson, +17 more
- 15 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the anterior hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory, and that increased hippocampal volume is associated with greater serum levels of BDNF, a mediator of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
