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.

Training Willpower: Reducing Costs and Valuing Effort

Michel Audiffren, +2 more
- 28 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed that the capacity to exert effortful control can be improved through training programs, and they conducted a review of 63 meta-analyses that showed training programs are effective in improving performance in effortful tasks tapping executive functions and/or self-control with a small to large effect size.

Molecular and Brain Volume Changes Following Aerobic Exercise, Cognitive and Combined Training in Physically Inactive Healthy Late-Middle-Aged Adults: The Projecte Moviment Randomized Controlled Trial

Alba Castells-Sánchez, +15 more
- 20 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: This study shows crucial initial molecular and brain volume changes related to lifestyle interventions at early stages and highlights the value of examining activity parameters, individual difference characteristics and using a multi-level analysis approach to address these questions.

Sex Matters in the Association between Physical Activity and Fitness with Cognition.

Alba Castells-Sánchez, +10 more
- 01 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits from physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on normal age-related cognitive decline might be sex dependent, and the authors explored the relationship between different types of PA, CRF, and cognition and identified the mediating effects of CRF in the association between PA and cognition in women and men.

Physical activity and aerobic fitness show different associations with brain processes underlying anticipatory selective visuospatial attention in adolescents

Hernandez Barros, +7 more
- 30 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that physical activity may be associated with a neural marker of anticipatory attention in adolescents, and the link between physical exercise level and cognitive control in adolescents is mediated by the task-related oscillatory activity.

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.
