The effects of exercise on cognitive function and brain plasticity - a feasibility trial.

CONCLUSION: Acute exercise interventions in sedentary adults can be meaningfully conducted along with cognitive and neurophysiologic measures to assess behavioral and neurobiological effects and assessment of BDNF polymorphism. TMS measures of plasticity can be used to evaluate the effects of exercise on brain plasticity, and relate them to neuropsychological measures of cognition. PMID: 28984621 [PubMed - in process]
