Fitness and Exercise Effects on Brain Age in a Randomized Clinical Trial (IMAGE)
Caption
This graphic highlight key findings showing that regular aerobic exercise was associated with a younger-appearing brain on MRI compared with no change in activity. Participants who exercised showed reductions in brain age alongside improved fitness, while no single biological factor fully explained the effect, suggesting multiple pathways may support exercise-related brain health benefits.
