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.

Non-modifiable factors as moderators of the relationship between physical activity and brain volume: A cross-sectional UK Biobank study

TL;DR: In males, but not females, an association exists between objectively-measured physical activity and grey matter volume, and this relationship is moderated by age, sex, brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met genotype, or apolipoprotein e4 allele carriage.

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.
