Key result
Current evidence lacks consistent data to describe cause-effect associations or detailed neurobiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between exercise and mental health or neurodegeneration.
This review highlights the current lack of consistent data to establish clear cause-effect associations between exercise and mental health or neurodegenerative diseases.
Insufficient evidence limits exercise prescriptions for neurodegeneration; leaves open causal mechanisms for prospective trials.
Neuroscience is an emergent research field that comprises many multidisciplinary investigations, searches for explanations about the relationship between the body and the brain. Here, we will give a little summary of this field showing the main current findings. We discuss the lack of consistent data about the relationship among exercise for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, sports performance and rehabilitation, and therefore, the difficult to describe cause-effect associations or to describe in detail the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these associations.

Machado et al. (2015) conducted a review in Neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Exercise was evaluated. Current evidence lacks consistent data to describe cause-effect associations or detailed neurobiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between exercise and mental health or neurodegeneration.
