- Exercise triggers the release of myokines including BDNF, IL-6, IGF-1, and cathepsin B that cross the blood-brain barrier and promote neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. — Physical fitness and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study among adults in Qatar
- Physical fitness is associated with elevated cerebral blood volume, which itself stimulates neurogenesis. — Physical fitness and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study among adults in Qatar
- High aerobic fitness correlates with larger hippocampal, basal ganglia, and prefrontal cortex volumes, enhanced white matter integrity, and more efficient brain activity patterns. — Physical fitness and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study among adults in Qatar
- Aerobic and resistance exercise slow musculoskeletal ageing and improve skeletal muscle function through brain-muscle cross-talk, a mechanism considered particularly relevant to the hand grip-cognition association in males. — Physical fitness and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study among adults in Qatar
- Sex hormones including leptin and oestrogen located within adipose tissue may modulate cognitive decline in ways that differ between males and females. — Physical fitness and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study among adults in Qatar
