This project aims to determine if exercise improves language learning and consolidation in ageing. There is now compelling evidence for the benefits of exercise on cognition in older adults, however, it is unclear whether exercise improves age-related language problems. The project plans to examine exercise-induced changes in brain activity and biomarkers in an innovative set of studies that seeks to identify the brain mechanisms involved. The findings are expected to contribute to theories of word learning and cognitive ageing and should advance our understanding of how exercise may be harnessed to optimise language and cognition. This would have practical applications in a range of populations with language and learning difficulties.

该项目旨在确定运动是否能改善老年人的语言学习和巩固。现在有令人信服的证据表明，锻炼对老年人的认知能力有好处，然而，目前还不清楚锻炼是否能改善与年龄相关的语言问题。该项目计划在一系列创新的研究中检查运动引起的大脑活动和生物标志物的变化，旨在确定所涉及的大脑机制。这些发现有望为单词学习和认知老化的理论做出贡献，并应促进我们对如何利用锻炼来优化语言和认知的理解。这将在一系列有语言和学习困难的人群中得到实际应用。
