Regular aerobic exercise is positively associated with hippocampal structure and function in young and middle-aged adults (Hendrikse, 2022)
Hendrikse et al. (2022) reported higher levels of exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with improved hippocampal structure and function for young and middle-aged adults.
The hippocampus is linked to memory.
