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.

The Role of Physical Exercise in Opioid Substitution Therapy: Mechanisms of Sequential Effects

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors focus on the possible mechanisms that contribute to the beneficial effects of exercise on the treatment of OUDs, with emphasis placed on the description of a sequential consolidation of these mechanisms.

Effect of isometric handgrip exercise on cognitive function: Current evidence, methodology, and safety considerations

TL;DR: A trend was discernible that implementing isometric handgrip exercise can generate a beneficial chronic effect on cognitive function, although the results should be interpreted with caution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerobic exercise is associated with region-specific changes in volumetric, tensor-based, and fixel-based measures of white matter integrity in healthy older adults

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the associations of changes in these white matter parameters with changes in cardiovascular fitness and digit symbol substitution task (DSST) performance, a marker of perceptual speed.

Point/counterpoint: Arterial blood pressure response to exercise does relate to exercise-induced improvement in cognitive function

TL;DR: In this paper , an optimal exercise prescription for preventing dementia has not been established because the physiological mechanism(s) of exercise-induced improvements in cognitive function remains unclear, and therefore, consideration of individual cardiovascular responses is warranted to develop appropriate exercise prescriptions for a given individual to prevent dementia.

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.
