- Abstract
Introduction: For decades, a beneficial relationship between aerobic physical exercise and central nervous system metabolism has been demonstrated. Individuals who regularly practice physical exercise have better cognitive performance when compared to sedentary individuals. Objective: This study aimed to carry out a literature review on the effects of aerobic physical exercise on cognitive function. Methodology: This was an literature review. In order to search for and select the studies, the following databases were used: Scielo, Science Direct and Pubmed, allowing the selection of 10 articles, which were published between 2018 and 2019, using as descriptors: Physical exercise; Aerobic exercise; Cognition; Mental health; Efficacy and Effectiveness. Results: It was verified that there is a great amount of studies which clearly demonstrate the adequate practice of aerobic exercise as a factor of improvement and strengthening of a series of cognitive functions, which include attention, memory, perception and processing abilities mental. Conclusion: All the results demonstrate beneficial effects between aerobic physical exercise and cognitive function, and it is necessary to perform further studies that elucidate this relationship.
