The Impact of Age on Cognition (2015, background): “Previous reviews have summarized the literature concerning physical activity, enhanced fitness, and cognitive function in older adults without cognitive impairment and have concluded that the preponderance of evidence suggests that physical activity is beneficial for cognitive function in the elderl”
Physical activity and functional limitations in older adults: a systematic review related to Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines (2010, background): “It is important to note that there is insufficient data to conclude that a change in aerobic or musculoskeletal fitness is required to elicit positive changes in cognitive function [94,95].”
Effect of exercise on physical function, daily living activities, and quality of life in the frail older adults: a meta-analysis. (2012, background): “Exercise slows down the physiologic changes associated with aging, promotes cognitive health, and complements the management of chronic disease in the older adults.(1,8) Exercise is beneficial in improving physical functions, such as sit-tostand performance, balance, agility, and ambulation in the o”
Summary of the evidence on modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia: A population‐based perspective (2015, unknown): “Several randomized controlled trials and a Cochrane review of such trials have found that inactive, but otherwise healthy, seniors who begin an exercise program experience significantly improved cognitive function [77,78].”
Muscles and their myokines (2011, background): “Several meta-analyses demonstrate a positive association between cardiovascular (or ‘aerobic’) fitness and cognitive performance in elderly subjects (Angevaren et al., 2008; Colcombe and Kramer, 2003; Etnier et al., 2006; Heyn et al., 2004).”
Conclusions about Interventions, Programs, and Approaches for Improving Executive Functions that appear Justified and those that, despite much hype, do not (2015, background): “Consistent with this, two meta-analyses of randomized control trials in adults (mostly older adults) found little or no EF benefits from aerobic activity (Angevaren et al., 2008 [which included 11 studies]; Smith et al., 2010 [which included 17 studies]).”
Epidemiology of Alzheimer Disease (2012, unknown): “A Cochrane review (Angevaren et al. 2008) found that eight of 11 random, controlled trials of exercise in older people without known cognitive impairment reported that aerobic exercise interventions were associated with improvements in cognitive function.”
Aerobic Exercise and Neurocognitive Performance: a Meta-Analytic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials (2010, background): “chrane review, Angevaren and colleagues (11) concluded that, Memory”
A Review of the Effects of Physical Activity and Exercise on Cognitive and Brain Functions in Older Adults (2013, background): “However, not all studies reported a significant correlation between improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness outcomes and cognitive improvement (see [28, 32] meta-analysis), which suggests that physiological mechanisms supporting cognitive enhancement remain to be fully understood.”
