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.

Clinical Advances in Sex- and Gender-Informed Medicine to Improve the Health of All: A Review.

TL;DR: Clinical examples with broad applicability that highlight sex and gender differences in the key domains of genetics, epigenomic modifiers, hormonal milieu, immune function, neurocognitive aging process, vascular health, response to therapeutics, and interaction with health care systems are detailed.

Dose-Response Matters! - A Perspective on the Exercise Prescription in Exercise-Cognition Research.

TL;DR: An adapted exercise prescription can be made comparable across individuals, a procedure that is necessary to better understand the dose–response relationship in exercise–cognition research, which could help to design more efficient physical training approaches against, for instance, cognitive decline.

Exercise Intervention Associated with Cognitive Improvement in Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: Taking exercise intervention in the early stage of MCI and healthy aging at the risk of AD could slow down the process of cognitive impairment and provide a promising cost-effective nonpharmacological therapy to dementia.

The beneficial effects of different types of exercise interventions on motor and cognitive functions in older age: a systematic review

TL;DR: Overall, observations from the 19 included studies conclude that improvements on both motor and cognitive functions were found, mainly in interventions that adopt physical-cognitive training or combined exercise training, and advocates the use of multimodal exercise training paradigms or interventions to improve cognitive-motor abilities in older adults.

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.
