VO2max (maximal oxygen consumption), a validated measure of aerobic fitness, has been
associated with better cerebral artery compliance and measures of brain morphology, such …

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are among the most commonly observed marker of
cerebrovascular disease. Age is a key risk factor for WMH development. Cardiorespiratory …

Previous studies have indicated that aerobic exercise could reduce age related decline in
cognition and brain functioning. Here we investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on …

Aging is accompanied by vascular and structural changes in the brain, which include
decreased grey matter volume (GMV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebrovascular …

The brain's vasculature is likely to be subjected to the same age-related physiological and
anatomical changes affecting the rest of the cardiovascular system. Since aerobic fitness is …

Background Physical activity may attenuate age-related cognitive decline by improving
cerebrovascular function. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate effects of aerobic …

Previous work has confirmed the benefits of aerobic exercise for brain aging, however
mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. Two measures of exercise, time spent …

A growing body of evidence indicates that cardiorespiratory fitness attenuates some age-
related cerebral declines. However, little is known about the role that myocardial function …

In this review, we explore the association among physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness,
and exercise on gray matter volume in older adults. We conclude that higher …

Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) in old age are associated
with greater brain structural and functional integrity, and higher cognitive functioning …
