cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, hypertension and inflammation (Carroll and Dudfield, 2004; Pedersen, 2006) or amyloid plaque (Adlard et al., 2005), exercise-induced molecular cascades affecting neuronal plasticity may play a role, especially for short-term exercise effects (for reviews see Cotman et al., 2007; Dishman et al., 2006;
Lista and Sorrentino, 2010). The latter pathway is primarily based on findings from basic research with animal models, which studies the brain microenvironment and how physical and cognitive functions (of aged mice) can be restored by neuronal integrity that may be mediated by growth/neurotrophic factors (Park et al., 2013a).
On the behavioral level this is reflected in increased learning and memory performance (Lista and Sorrentino, 2010). The combination of aerobic and resistance exercise may be most potent in enhancing neuronal plasticity because different neurotrophins are presumably stimulated by each exercise type. While aerobic exercise has been shown to up-regulate the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; Neeper et al., 1995), resistance exercise appears to stimulate immune-globulin factor 1
