Effects of cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise training on cerebrovascular blood flow and reactivity: a systematic review with meta-analyses

CONCLUSIONS: High CRF positively effects cerebrovascular function, including decreased CVRi and increased CVRCO2 however, global cerebral blood flow and MCAv is primarily unchanged following an exercise intervention in healthy and clinical populations.PMID:34018848 | DOI:10.1152/ajpheart.00880.2020
