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.

Fixed‐ versus random‐effects models in meta‐analysis: Model properties and an empirical comparison of differences in results

TL;DR: The authors examined the important statistical differences between fixed-effects and random-effects (RE) models in meta-analysis and between two different RE procedures, due to Hedges and Vevea, and to Hunter and Schmidt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise, brain, and cognition across the life span.

TL;DR: There is growing evidence that both aerobic and resistance training are important for maintaining cognitive and brain health in old age and for greater interaction between human and animal models of exercise effects on brain and cognition across the life span.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of resistance training on resting blood pressure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: The results suggest that moderate intensity resistance training is not contraindicated and could become part of the non-pharmacological intervention strategy to prevent and combat high blood pressure, however, additional studies are needed, especially in the hypertensive population.

The effect of ovariectomy and estradiol replacement on brain-derived neurotrophic factor messenger ribonucleic acid expression in cortical and hippocampal brain regions of female Sprague-Dawley rats.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that E2 may serve a neurotrophomodulatory role is extended by assessing the effect of OVX and E2 replacement on brain-derived nerve factor (BDNF) mRNA levels using in situ hybridization and demonstrating that E 2 deprivation leads to a reduction in BDNF mRNA.

Reduction of the plasma concentration of C-reactive protein following nine months of endurance training.

TL;DR: The decrease of the CRP base-line concentration after training suggests that intensive regular exercise has a systemic anti-inflammatory effect.
