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.

Impact of exercise training on physical and cognitive function among older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Ryan S. Falck, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis among older adults (60+ years) suggests exercise training has a significant benefit for both physical function and cognitive function, reiterating the notion that exercise is a panacea for aging well.

Systematic review and meta-analysis investigating moderators of long-term effects of exercise on cognition in healthy individuals.

Sebastian Ludyga, +4 more
- 30 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that sex, exercise type and dose influence the benefits of exercise for cognition, and these benefits can be optimized by paying attention to sex-specific differences in the role of exercise intensity and its progression.

Functional and/or structural brain changes in response to resistance exercises and resistance training lead to cognitive improvements – a systematic review

Fabian Herold, +4 more
- 10 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: Based on the analyses, resistance exercises and resistance training evoked substantial functional brain changes, especially in the frontal lobe, which were accompanied by improvements in executive functions, which could be crucial for healthy aging that includes preservation of the brain and cognition.

Exercise-Induced Neuroplasticity: A Mechanistic Model and Prospects for Promoting Plasticity.

Jenin El-Sayes, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: This review unifies the knowledge gained across various neuroscience techniques to provide a comprehensive profile of the neural mechanisms that mediate exercise-induced neuroplasticity, and identifies some fundamental gaps in knowledge that may serve to guide future research in this area.

Michelle W. Voss, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: Re-examine results from human studies, and suggest the use of more sensitive tasks to evaluate PA effects on age-related changes in the hippocampus, such as relational memory and mnemonic discrimination.

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.
