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.

Golf as a physical activity to improve walking speed and cognition in older adults: A non-randomized, pre-post, pilot study

TL;DR: Assessment of a 10-week golf program for non-golfer older adults focused on improving physical and cognitive function, as opposed to golf performance, and whether findings support development of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was found.

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.
