| Research Abstract |
In this study, the relationship between maximum oxygen uptake and cognitive tasks were examined in young and elderly people; furthermore, the relation to the brain structure was examined. As a result, a significant correlation was not observed between maximum oxygen uptake and cognitive tasks, and between maximum oxygen uptake and gray-matter volume in young and elderly subjects. Therefore, the study suggests that a difference of aerobic capacity has no effect on the brain structure and cognitive function.
