Overview

Narrative review highlights resistance exercise's impact on cognitive function and neurotrophic factors in older adults, suggesting its benefits for brain health.

Key Points

  • Resistance exercise may enhance cognitive function, including executive and memory function in older adults.
  • Evidence from 41 randomized controlled trials indicates improvements in global cognition linked to resistance exercise.
  • The review examines neurotrophic factors and their relation to brain structure and function alterations from resistance exercise.
  • Understanding resistance exercise's effects can inform strategies to promote cognitive health and mitigate age-related decline.
