Elevated Aerobic Fitness Sustained Throughout the Adult Lifespan Is Associated With Improved Cerebral Hemodynamics

First ever human study to determine the association between aerobic fitness and both cerebral perfusion and cerebrovascular reactivity (to carbon dioxide) across the continuum of healthy human aging. Collectively, the findings highlight the importance of being physically active and maintaining aerobic fitness throughout the lifespan given clear cerebrovascular benefits and potential to reduce stroke risk and susceptibility to dementia in later-life.
