Aerobic Fitness and Attentional Control in Preadolescent Children
The nature of the relationship between aerobic fitness and the attentional networks was assessed in forty-six preadolescent children. Neuroelectric (P3 amplitude and latency) and behavioral (accuracy, response time [RT]) indices of cognitive performance were assessed during the Attention Network …

Effects of aerobic fitness on dual task walking in older adults
Having higher aerobic fitness levels leads to better cognitive performance and increases in the oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) (i.e., increase in PFC activation patterns). Unfortunately, it is unknown how aerobic fitness levels can affect these measures while dual-task walking. …

A neuroimaging investigation of the association between aerobic fitness, hippocampal volume and memory performance in preadolescent children
… implications. Animal research has indicated that aerobic exercise is related to increased cell proliferation and survival in the hippocampus as well as enhanced hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. Recent evidence extends this relationship to elderly humans by suggesting that high aerobic …
