Differences in Physiological Signals Due to Age and Exercise Habits of Subjects during Cycling Exercise

Numerous studies indicated the physical benefits of regular exercise, but the neurophysiological mechanisms of regular exercise in elders were less investigated. We aimed to compare changes in brain activity during exercise in elderly people and in young adults with and without regular exercise habi...
