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.

Sex differences in steroidogenesis in skeletal muscle following a single bout of exercise in rats.

TL;DR: A single bout of exercise can influence the steroidogenic system in skeletal muscle, and these alterations differ between sexes, so the acute exercise-induced alteration of steroidogenic enzymes may enhance the local steroidogenesis in the skeletal muscle in both sexes.

Sex steroids and the dentate gyrus.

TL;DR: Three sex steroid-related themes, functional effects in the normal dentate gyrus, mechanisms involving neurogenesis and synaptic remodeling, as well as neuroprotection, have substantial implications for understanding normal cognitive function, with clinical importance for epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and mental disorders.

Single Versus Combined Cognitive and Physical Activity Effects on Fluid Cognitive Abilities of Healthy Older Adults: A 4-Month Randomized Controlled Trial With Follow-Up

TL;DR: Physical, cognitive, and combined physical plus cognitive activity can be seen as cognition-enrichment behaviors in healthy older adults that show different rather than equal intervention effects.

Exercise, fitness and cognition – A randomised controlled trial in older individuals: The DR's EXTRA study

TL;DR: Present data from a large RCT among older individuals failed to show between group differences on the effects of regular exercise on cognition, however, secondary analyses suggest that higher levels of fitness may potentially mitigate memory impairment.

Effect of two physical exercise protocols on cognition and depressive symptoms in oldest-old people: a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: To compare the effect of multicomponent and resistance training and detraining on cognition and depressive symptoms in oldest‐old community‐dwelling people, a large sample of people from around the world are studied.
