The largest review, including >2700 trials, was just published.

Exercise significantly improved cognition, memory & executive function across all populations.

Exercise is essential for cognitive health.

Proud of our work contributing to the ongoing study of later-in-life brain health in former athletes!

#UTSW researchers found aging former college athletes who have had concussions are more likely to think they’re cognitively impaired – even if they’re not – if they have depression or anxiety. @CullumCM @TheClinicalNP https://t.co/pRdoy8F2qv #ConcussionResearch

Check out this good summary of why telling people they have CTE is dangerous. There is no causal proof that CTE causes the symptoms people exposed to RHI have. @NeurologyToday @HarvardChanSPH

Repetitive head injury exposure wasn't significantly related to cognitive or mood outcomes in aging collegiate football players, but current mood symptoms were related to subjective cognitive function in this group

This is one of the largest meta-analyses on the effects of exercise on cognitive performance.

Here are my top 4 evidence-based protocols from it to leverage exercise to maximize cognitive performance.
