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 effect of resistance training on cognitive function in the older adults: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials

Zhihui Li, +4 more
- 13 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: Main results showed that resistance training had positive effects on the executive function and global cognitive function of the elderly, and short-term interventions had little positive effect on memory and attention, and triweekly resistance training has a better effect on general cognitive ability than biweekly.

Exercise and the Aging Brain: Considerations for Sex Differences

Cindy K. Barha, +1 more
TL;DR: The argument that biological sex may be an important moderator of the relationship between physical activity and cognition is presented andsex differences in neuroplasticity, neurotrophic factors and physiological effects of exercise are examined to highlight the possible mediators of sex differences in exercise efficacy on cognition.

The beneficial effects of physical exercise in the brain and related pathophysiological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.

Yan Liu, +7 more
- 26 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: This review will discuss the recent findings of how exercise could ameliorate brain function in neuropathological states, demonstrated by either clinical or laboratory animal studies, and discusses the differential and common effects of aerobic versus resistance exercises.

The Role of Sex in Memory Function: Considerations and Recommendations in the Context of Exercise.

Paul D. Loprinzi, +1 more
- 31 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is highlighted that, despite the established sex differences in memory, there is little work directly comparing whether males and females have a differential exercise-induced effect on memory function, which is plausible given the clear sex-specific effects on memory, exercise response, and molecular mediators of memory.

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.
