“…Despite a greater total volume of exercise in the aforementioned study (ie longer duration training at a higher intensity in Ref. ), shorter duration at moderate intensity was in the present study efficient enough to induce enhancement in executive functioning.…”

“…Similarly, in the study conducted by Kramer et al, aged participants who completed 24 weeks of a walking training programme demonstrated a significant improvement in tasks that tapped attention control task and executive functions compared to those completed stretching activities. More recently, 12‐week of AT, but at higher intensity, increased the attention capacity and of abstract reasoning; whereas no improvement was observed in the executive functions considered . Despite a greater total volume of exercise in the aforementioned study (ie longer duration training at a higher intensity in Ref.…”

Abstract. The aging of the Western society has become one of the key issues in research. Lately research has shown relationship between improvement in cognitive functioning and involvement in physical activities. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of different types of physical activities on executive functioning. Overall 30 seniors aged from 65 participated in a two-day study. They were divided into three groups per their life-style -aerobic activity, strength training and sedentary. Results indicated differences between the groups in cognitive efficiency (F = 6.791, p < 0.01) and working memory (F = 6.179, p < 0.01) as well as the inhibition of attention (F = 4.311, p < 0.01). The mean scores were higher in the aerobic group. The results indicate that involvement in aerobic physical activity might lessen the decline in executive functioning in seniors.

“…Exercise intervention studies have shown that exercise may increase brain volume [38,39] and improve cognitive function [40,41] in older adults. Furthermore, several observational studies have shown that subclinical symptoms of depression and anxiety are associated with smaller brain volume [42,43] and poorer cognitive function [44,45].…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) is associated with a decreased dementia risk, whereas psychological distress (distress) is linked to an increased dementia risk.Objective: We investigated independent and joint associations of midlife moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and distress with incident dementia.Methods: Our study comprised 28,916 participants aged 30-60 years from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT1, 1984(HUNT1, -1986. Data on MVPA and distress from HUNT1 was linked to the Health and Memory Study in Nord-Trøndelag for dementia case identification. Participants were followed from 1995 until 2011. We used adjusted Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results: In fully adjusted analyses, MVPA was associated with a reduced dementia risk (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.62-1.06), compared to no MVPA. Distress was associated with an increased dementia risk (HR 1.30, 95% CI 0.99-1.70). Compared to distressed participants not taking part in MVPA, non-distressed no-MVPA participants had a reduced dementia risk (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.54-0.96). The same applied to distressed MVPA participants (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.22-1.14), and non-distressed MVPA participants (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44-0.90). Our results indicated an additive interaction between MVPA and distress on dementia risk.Conclusion: Our results suggest that midlife MVPA reduces risk of incident dementia among both distressed and non-distressed individuals.
