本文简要回顾了人类和动物研究健身训练与大脑和认知功能之间关系的文献。动物研究清楚地表明，健康状况的改善可以导致老年动物大脑的形态和功能变化。最近一项荟萃分析的结果表明，健身训练也可以对人类认知产生有益的影响，特别是在需要执行控制处理的任务上。这些影响也受到一些因素的影响，包括干预研究中的男性和女性比例、训练课程的长度、参与者的年龄以及健身训练制度的组合。文章还讨论了首次将健身训练与人脑结构和功能差异联系起来的初步结果。最后，我们讨论了参与者对健身训练计划忠诚度的重要问题以及影响健身参与的因素。
The present article provides a brief review of the human and animal literature that has investigated the relationship between fitness training and brain and cognitive function. The animal research clearly suggests that improvements in fitness can lead to both morphological and functional changes in the brains of older animals. Results of a recent meta-analysis suggest that fitness training can also have beneficial effects on human cognition, particularly on tasks requiring executive control processing. These effects are also moderated by a number of factors, including the proportion of men and women in the intervention studies, the length of training sessions, the age of the participants, and the combination of fitness training regimes. The article also discusses preliminary results that link, for the first time, fitness training and differences in human brain structure and function. Finally, we discuss the important issue of participant adherence to fitness training programs and the factors that influence fitness participation.
