Research Abstract	In 2007, we confirmed that aerobic exercise has the effect of shortening the information processing processes of the brain. In 2008, we reported that there is a possibility that the effects of aerobic exercise on the cerebral nerve function is sustainable as the exhibited training effect since event-related potential ERP-P3 amplitude after aerobic exercise lasted more than two days. In 2009, we found that non-exercising older adults who started doing regular aerobic exercises showed latencies and amplitude in ERP-P3 were shortened and increased. It became clear that exercising repressed their cerebral nerve hypo-function. Since 2010, we began examining the ERP-P3 of older adults who gave up exercising and continued further examination of the effect which exercise has on cerebral nerve functions.
