摘要
This systematic review aims to examine the association between physical activity, neuroplasticity, and cognition. We analyzed an initial dataset consisting of 9935 articles retrieved from three scientific platforms (PubMed, Scopus, and the Virtual Health Library). Various screening filters were applied to refine the information against predefined eligibility criteria, resulting in the inclusion of a total of 17 articles that assessed the effect of aerobic exercise on neuroplasticity. The results suggested that aerobic exercise at various intensities, particularly at high intensity, can influence cortical excitability and result in cognitive improvement; also, exercise was associated with direct cortical and structural changes. Exercise has shown efficacy in individuals of diverse age groups, as well as in people with and without brain disease.
