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.

Lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors and results from novel trials aiming to prevent cognitive decline and dementia is presented, including the World Wide FINGERS network, which aims to harmonize studies on dementia prevention, generate high-quality scientific evidence and promote its implementation.

Applications of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Neuroimaging in Exercise⁻Cognition Science: A Systematic, Methodology-Focused Review.

TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the current methodological knowledge about fNIRS application in studies measuring the cortical hemodynamic responses during cognitive testing, and in cross-sectional studies accounting for the physical fitness level of their participants.

Lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: The first large randomized controlled trials of multidomain lifestyle interventions to prevent cognitive impairment have been completed, and the results suggest that targeting interventions to individuals at risk of dementia is an effective strategy.

Increased heart rate variability and executive performance after aerobic training in the elderly.

TL;DR: The results highlight the role of aerobic exercise as an important cardiac and brain protective factor, and suggest a direct link between exercise, HRV, and cognition in the aged population.

Does combined cognitive training and physical activity training enhance cognitive abilities more than either alone? A four-condition randomized controlled trial among healthy older adults

TL;DR: The results suggest that cognitive training is effective in improving cognitive performance and that it (and not mild aerobic training) is driving the improvement in the combined condition.

Complex Mental and Physical Activity in Older Women and Cognitive Performance: A 6-month Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: In healthy older women, participation in new stimulating activities contributes to cognitive fitness and might delay cognitive decline and exercise and computer classes seem to generate equivalent beneficial effects.

Psychological and Cognitive Effects of an Exercise Program for Community-Residing Older Adults

TL;DR: Results indicated little change in psychological well-being and provided limited support for the association of physiological improvement with enhanced mastery and cognitive functioning.

Influence of differential housing on emotional behaviour and neurotrophin levels in mice.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates for the first time the differential distribution of normal levels of neurotrophin protein in dorsal and ventral hippocampus in mice, and these levels can be affected by environmental enrichment and have an impact on emotional behaviour.
