Sex differences in exercise efficacy to improve cognition: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in older humans

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.

Estrogen-dependent hippocampal wiring as a risk factor for age-related dementia in women.

TL;DR: To explain why women rely less on hippocampus-dependent strategies, a "computational hypothesis" is proposed that the direct effects of estrogens on hippocampal synaptic and structural plasticity during the estrous-cycle confers instability to the memory-dependent hippocampal network.

Acute aerobic exercise improves memory across intensity and fitness levels.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exercise can improve recall at both light and high intensities, and that the benefit can be obtained by individuals regardless of their fitness level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of different intensities of forced exercise on deficits of spatial and aversive memory, anxiety-like behavior, and hippocampal BDNF during morphine abstinence period in male rats.

TL;DR: Regular moderate forced exercise may be beneficial in preserving cognitive and mood functions in male addicts during the abstinent period and drug rehabilitation.

CONSORT 2010 Explanation and Elaboration: updated guidelines for reporting parallel group randomised trials

TL;DR: This update of the CONSORT statement improves the wording and clarity of the previous checklist and incorporates recommendations related to topics that have only recently received recognition, such as selective outcome reporting bias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory

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.

Fitness Effects on the Cognitive Function of Older Adults: A Meta-Analytic Study

TL;DR: Fitness training was found to have robust but selective benefits for cognition, with the largest fitness-induced benefits occurring for executive-control processes.
