- Abstract
Introduction: Studies show that physical exercise has the ability to influence the central nervous system, in order to bring benefits to human health through the stimulation of neurogenesis, synaptogenesis (more expressively in the dentate gyrus) and cerebral angiogenesis. The hippocampus is considered as a region of the central nervous system with high plasticity, mainly through neurogenesis. This, in turn, can be negatively influenced by factors such as aging and stress, and positively by stimulus such as cognitive reinforcement and physical exercise. Emphasizing the importance of hippocampal neuroplasticity, especially in adult life, as well as the influence that the environment exerts in this process. Objective: To conduct an integrative review regarding the hippocampal plasticity induced by physical exercise. Materials and Methods: Articles published between 2018 and 2023 were searched in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde and PUBMED databases, using the keywords neuronal plasticity AND exercise, including its related terms in Portuguese. Results: Several studies show physical exercise as a great tool for prevention and adjuvant treatment for numerous pathological conditions. Conclusion: The selected articles corroborate the result that physical exercise has a positive impact on hippocampal neuroplasticity. Being the aerobic activities of moderate to high intensity, light/moderate resistance activity and motorspatial training, the exercises with the greatest cerebral impact.
