The Effect of Endurance Training on Serum BDNF Levels in the Chronic Post-Stroke Phase: Current Evidence and Qualitative Systematic Review

Sara Gorna et al.

Summary: Research in modern neurorehabilitation focuses on tailored cognitive and motor recovery programmes for stroke patients, with an emphasis on physiological parameters. This review aimed to determine the effects of endurance exercise on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and evaluate the quality of related studies. The systematic review included seven intervention studies involving 200 patients and found that endurance exercise might increase peripheral BDNF concentration in post-stroke individuals.

Whole Body Vibration Improves Brain and Musculoskeletal Health by Modulating the Expression of Tissue-Specific Markers: FNDC5 as a Key Regulator of Vibration Adaptations

Ida Cariati et al.

Summary: Whole body vibration (WBV) has beneficial effects on multiple tissues, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This study investigated the effects of WBV on the brain and musculoskeletal tissue of young mice and found that different vibration protocols have different effects on these tissues. Further studies are needed to better understand the physiological adaptations to vibration and develop customized WBV protocols.

Comparison of the effects of open vs. closed skill exercise on the acute and chronic BDNF, IGF-1 and IL-6 response in older healthy adults

Tom Behrendt et al.

Summary: The study found that different types of physical exercise can have a positive impact on the release of neurotrophic factors and myokines in healthy older adults, with open-skill exercise showing better improvement in basal neurotrophic factor levels after 12 weeks of training.

Acute effects of strength and endurance exercise on serum BDNF and IGF-1 levels in older men

Hamid Arazi et al.

Summary: The study found that both strength and endurance exercise can significantly increase serum BDNF and IGF-1 concentrations and platelets, with no significant differences between them after exercise.

Blood Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Major Depression: Do We Have a Translational Perspective?

Beatrice Arosio et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the neurotrophin hypothesis of depression and the relationship between blood BDNF concentration and MDD. Existing research suggests that changes in BDNF levels are associated with clinical manifestations of depression, but cannot yet be used as a biomarker in clinical practice.

Effects of physical exercise on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor in neurodegenerative disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

David Ruiz-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Exercise interventions significantly increase plasma BDNF levels in individuals with neurodegenerative disorders, with particularly notable effects in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease; irrespective of exercise type, weekly exercise volume, and intervention length, BDNF levels showed significant increases.

Two Months of Using Global Recommendations for Physical Activity Had No Impact on Cognitive or Motor Functions in Overweight and Obese Middle-Aged Women

Laura Zlibinaite et al.

Summary: This study found that 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can reduce body weight and improve cardiovascular fitness among middle-aged, overweight, and obese women, but has no significant impact on cognition and motor control.
