Significant progress has been made in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms
through which exercise protects and restores the brain. In this feature review, we integrate …

Physical exercise may improve cognitive function by modulating molecular and cellular
mechanisms within the brain. We propose that the facilitation of long-term synaptic …

Aerobic exercise (AE) has been widely praised for its potential benefits to cognition and
overall brain and mental health. In particular, AE has a potent impact on promoting the …

The human brain is plastic, ie it can show structural changes in response to the altered
environment. Physical activity (PA) is a lifestyle factor which has significant associations with …

The literature examining the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and the brain in
older adults has increased rapidly, with 30 of 34 studies published since 2008. Here we …

There is mounting evidence that aerobic exercise has a positive effect on cognitive functions
in older adults. To date, little is known about the neurometabolic and molecular mechanisms …

With growing evidence of long-term neurological damage in individuals enduring repetitive
head trauma, it is critical to detect lower-level damage accumulation for the early diagnosis …

Aging is associated with reductions in gray matter volume and cortical thickness. One factor
that may play a role in mitigating age-associated brain decline is cardiorespiratory fitness …

Obesity, a pathologic state defined by excess adipose tissue, is a significant public health
problem as it affects a large proportion of individuals and is linked with increased risk for …

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the associations of objectively
assessed habitual physical activity and physical performance with brain plasticity outcomes …
