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.

Men and women show partly distinct effects of physical activity on brain integrity

TL;DR: This study investigates the possible interactions between sex and physical activity on neuroimaging biomarkers and highlights partly distinct reserve mechanisms in men and women which might in turn influence their risk of AD.

Poor Lower Extremity Functioning Is Associated with Modest Increased Incidence of Probable Dementia.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariable Poisson regression with generalized estimating equations (GEE) was used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRR), adjusting for covariates and clustering.

Physical Exercise and Cognitive Function

TL;DR: Cognitive skills are relevant predictors of academic achievement, employability, socioeconomic success, health, and longevity as discussed by the authors , and cognitive skills are a relevant predictor of academic achievability and employability.

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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether and how physical activity and aerobic fitness are associated with the oscillatory dynamics underlying anticipatory spatial attention, and found that higher physical activity was related to increased cue-induced asymmetry, which in turn was associated with less efficient processing of information.

CONSORT 2010 Explanation and Elaboration: updated guidelines for reporting parallel group randomised trials

TL;DR: This update of the CONSORT statement improves the wording and clarity of the previous checklist and incorporates recommendations related to topics that have only recently received recognition, such as selective outcome reporting bias.

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.
