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.

Effects of acute exercise on emotional memory

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of exercise at varying intensities (Experiment 1: high intensity, Experiment 2: low and high-intensity, Experiment 3: moderate-intensity) on emotional memory performance were investigated.

Effects of square-stepping exercise on motor and cognitive function in older adults - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of square-stepping exercise on motor and cognitive function in older adults were investigated. But positive effects on cognitive function were not observed and require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examining the relationships among adolescent health behaviours, prefrontal function, and academic achievement using fNIRS.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the association between lifestyle behaviours and academic performance in a sample of adolescents, and examined the extent to which activity within the prefrontal cortex and behavioural indices of inhibition may mediate this relationship.

Non-Modifiable Factors as Moderators of the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Brain Volume: A Cross-Sectional UK Biobank Study

TL;DR: In this article , the relationship between objectively-measured physical activity and brain volume was examined and whether this relationship is moderated by age, sex, or a priori candidate genetic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met, or apolipoprotein (APOE) ǫ4 allele carriage.

Peer-supported exercise intervention for persons with mild cognitive impairment: a waitlist randomised controlled trial (the BRAin Vitality Enhancement trial).

TL;DR: The peer-supported exercise intervention was effective at sustaining improvements in executive function, attention and working memory in persons with mild cognitive impairment.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
