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.

The interaction between physical activity and sleep on cognitive function and brain beta-amyloid in older adults

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPQ) to determine whether self-reported physical activity moderated the relationship between sleep duration and episodic memory (β = -0.13, SE = 0.06, p = .031), and overall sleep quality and brain Aβ.

The effects of aerobic exercise and transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function in older adults with and without cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A systematic review with meta-analysis as discussed by the authors explored if pairing Aerobic Exercise (AE) with tDCS could augment singular effects of AE and tDCS on global cognition (GC), working memory (WM) and executive function (EF) in older individuals with or without MCI and dementia.

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.
