| Abstract | Physical exercise has an important role in general health and well-being. In the last 30 years, the scientific community began research in the field of neuroscience and exercise [1]. Up to date, around 1,753 studies (average 58/year) related to this subject were published [2]. The neuroscience of exercise addresses the effects of exercise on the brain in different populations (older adults, athletes, patients with neurological disorders and children). Although this subject is a relatively new research area, much evidence has already shown the benefits of exercise on mental health [3]. Some of the neurobiological mechanisms of exercise are related to neurogenesis, angiogenesis and synaptogenesis, among others [4], which are hypothesized as being beneficial for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Major Depression, and cognitive impairment [3-5]. |
