The frontal association area: exercise-induced brain plasticity in children and adolescents and implications for cognitive intervention practice.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Explore the plasticity of the frontal associative areas in children and adolescents induced by exercise and potential moderating variables.

Methods

Computer searches of CNKI, WOS, PubMed and EBSCO databases were conducted, and statistical analyses were performed based on SPSS 25.0, Stata 12.0 and Ginger ALE 2.3 software after literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two researchers.

Results

A total of 13 articles, including 425 participants aged 8.9∼16.8 years, were included. Frequency analysis revealed that exercise induced enhanced activation in frontal, parietal, occipital, limbic system and cerebellum (P < 0.01). Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) meta-analysis revealed that exercise altered
