  Higher cardiorespiratory fitness in older age is linked to the preservation of several core aspects of cognitive ability that are vulnerable to age-related decline, finds research published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The article from News-Medical.net discusses a study that found a significant link between higher cardiorespiratory fitness and improved cognitive function in older adults. The research, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, indicates that individuals with better cardiovascular health tend to exhibit enhanced memory, attention, and executive function. The study involved assessing the fitness levels of participants through various physical tests and correlating these with cognitive assessments. It suggests that maintaining or improving cardiorespiratory fitness through regular exercise could be a strategy to mitigate cognitive decline as one ages. The findings underscore the importance of physical activity not just for physical health but also for brain health, potentially reducing the risk of dementia and other cognitive impairments.
