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.

Sex differences in cortisol and memory following acute social stress in amnestic mild cognitive impairment

TL;DR: Immediate episodic memory performance was enhanced by stress in controls but not in the aMCI group, indicating that a MCI is associated with increased vulnerability to stress-induced alterations in cortisol that can negatively impact memory function.

Effect of physical exercise on popular measures of executive function in older, nonclinical, participants of randomized controlled trials: A meta-analytic review.

TL;DR: The results provide weak support for the notion that physical exercise produces molecular brain changes that enhance executive function test scores in older, nonclinical, participants.

Self-reported free-living physical activity and executive control in young adults.

TL;DR: The results show that self-reported PA over the past week, at any intensity level, does not appear to have a substantive impact on executive control.

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.
