<b>The latest in dementia prevention: A review of the promising role of aerobic exercise</b><b> </b>

Aerobic exercise (AE) has been widely acknowledged for improving brain health. In particular, AE has a potent impact on promoting the function of the hippocampus. The potential for AE to be applied as a therapeutic or adjunctive intervention for a range of human conditions appears increasingly more promising. Augmenting existing treatment approaches using AE-based interventions may promote hippocampal function. Moreover, incorporating non-pharmacological interventions into clinical treatment may have several other benefits for the patient's wellbeing. This review incorporates both animal and human studies to comprehensively detail the association of AE with cognitive enhancements.
