Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is Associated With Cognitive Performance in Older But Not Younger Adults

Conclusions:
CRF is positively associated with executive function and episodic memory in OA and attenuates age-related cognitive decline. We provide preliminary support for the age-dependence hypothesis, which posits that cognition and CRF relationships may be most readily observed during lifetime periods of significant neurocognitive development.
