Aerobic exercise and brain structure among military service members and Veterans with varying histories of mild traumatic brain injury: A LIMBIC-CENC exploratory investigation
History of one or more lifetime mTBIs was not associated with measures of brain gray matter volumes, suggesting that declines in structural brain health are not expected for the most SMVs with mTBI(s). Although MVAE may benefit brain health, a positive association between self-reported MVAE participation and gray matter volumes was not observed.
