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.

- 01 Nov 2018 - 
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.

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

Miia Kivipelto, +3 more
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.

Enriched environment influences hormonal status and hippocampal brain derived neurotrophic factor in a sex dependent manner

Jan Bakos, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the association between hormones and changes in brain plasticity is sex related, and testosterone seems to be involved in the regulatory processes related to neuroplasticity in females.

Cindy K. Barha, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that a better understanding of these factors will allow for evidence-based, personalised, tailored exercise recommendations that go beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to successfully combat dementia.

Effect of resistance-type exercise training with or without protein supplementation on cognitive functioning in frail and pre-frail elderly: secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Ondine van de Rest, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In frail and pre-frail elderly, resistance-type exercise training in combination with protein supplementation improved information processing speed and attention and working memory and there were no significant differences among the intervention groups on the other cognitive tests or domain scores.
