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.

Habitual exercise affects inhibitory processing in young and middle age men and women.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that it is important to consider individual differences, for example sex, when examining the effectiveness of exercise interventions targeting cognitive decline while examining the relationship between regular exercise and interference control.

Cardiovascular risk moderates the effect of aerobic exercise on executive functions in older adults with subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of baseline cardiovascular risk on cognitive function was investigated in adults with SIVCI by modifying cardiovascular risk factors, and a significant interaction was found between cardiovascular risk group and intervention group (AT or CON) for digit span backward and the Trail Making Test.

Building your best day for healthy brain aging-The neuroprotective effects of optimal time use.

TL;DR: A narrative review synthesises the evidence for the neurophysiological effects of physical activity, sleep and sedentary behaviour independently, with a particular focus on brain structure, function and neurodegenerative disease risk and concludes with a call to action.

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.
