Long-term cyclic aerobic training preserves the brain's health in elderly persons (brief review)

Abstract

It was identified on the base of special periodical literature analyze that cyclic muscular work systematically performed during large part of the person's life (former athlete) provides mainly the favorable effect on the brain. Ventricular-arterial coupling improvement ameliorates brain perfusion, and creates function advantages to brain health in old age. At that, the gray and white matter fading hampered, especially in structures that associated with visual control and human body spatial orientation, motor control and memory state, and age-related attenuation of cognitive functions in comparison with sedentary persons of the same age.
