Neural aging, cerebral plasticity and Exercise: Advances from the Physiotherapy's perspective
ARCHIVOS DE MEDICINA(2020)
Abstract
Exercise has shown effectiveness in promoting brain plasticity in neural aging processes. This narrative review of literature aims to analyze the neural effect of exercise to promote brain plasticity in aging. The results included publications that mention the effects of brain plasticity mediated by exercise, using exercise protocols with clinically significant duration, intensity and frequency. Through the documentary review three sections were determined: Neural Aging: Interrelated physiological processes; Exercise-mediated brain plasticity; Exercise to promote healthy neural aging. It was concluded that the physiotherapist, applying exercise protocols, can promote positive changes in brain function. which translates into an improvement in the physical and functional performance of older adults.
