Fitness, Gray Matter Volume, and Executive Function in Cognitively Normal Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Findings From the AGUEDA Trial.

The aim of the study is to investigate the association of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscular strength indicators with gray matter volume (GMV) and to study whether fitness-related regions of GMV are associated to executive function (EF) in cognitively normal older adults. Ninety-one cognitively normal older adults (71.69 ± 3.

Exercise and brain health in patients with coronary artery disease: study protocol for the HEART-BRAIN randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have a higher risk of developing cognitive impairment and mental health disorders compared to the general population. Physical exercise might improve their brain health. The overall goal of the HEART-BRAIN randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate the effects of different types of exercise on brain health outcomes in patients with CAD, and the underlying mechanisms.

Associations between muscular strength and mental health in cognitively normal older adults: a cross-sectional study from the AGUEDA trial.

Objective: To examine the associations between muscular strength and mental health.

Design: We used baseline data of 91 cognitively healthy older adults (71.69 ± 3.
