Higher levels of cardiovascular fitness are associated with better executive function and prefrontal oxygenation in younger and older women

Higher levels of cardiovascular fitness are associated with better executive function and prefrontal oxygenation in younger and older women

Aim: Many studies have suggested that physical exercise training improves cognition and more selectively executive functions. There is a growing interest to clarify the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie this effect. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the neurophysiological change...
