Point/counterpoint: Arterial blood pressure response to exercise does relate to exercise-induced improvement in cognitive function

Exercise is a beneficial intervention to prevent cognitive dysfunction. However, an optimal exercise prescription for preventing dementia has not been established because the physiological mechanism(s) of exercise-induced improvements in cognitive function remains unclear. Interestingly, our recent...

Description
Summary:Exercise is a beneficial intervention to prevent cognitive dysfunction. However, an optimal exercise prescription for preventing dementia has not been established because the physiological mechanism(s) of exercise-induced improvements in cognitive function remains unclear. Interestingly, our recent study demonstrated that individuals with a higher exercise pressor response exhibit less exercise-induced cognitive improvement, suggesting that individual differences in cardiovascular responses to exercise or its associated physiological factors, may be related to exercise-induced alterations in cognitive function. Therefore, consideration of individual cardiovascular responses is warranted to develop appropriate exercise prescriptions for a given individual to prevent cognitive dysfunction.
