Exercise-induced changes in serum and plasma BDNF levels in neurological disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis of key moderating factors

Aug 2026 · Sport Sciences for Health · Vol 22 · 1 citation · 82 references

TL;DR

Exercise is associated with significant BDNF increases in neurological populations with MS and PD, particularly with longer sessions and combined training, and findings should be considered hypothesis-generating.

Effects of Exercise Interventions on Peripheral Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor: An Umbrella Meta-Analysis Across Clinical and Healthy Populations

Circulating BDNF does not directly establish central BDNF engagement or enhanced neuroplasticity, and current review-level evidence does not establish a universal response, clinical benefit, superior modality, or optimal dose.

Optimizing exercise modalities to enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in older adults: a Bayesian network and dose-response meta-analysis

Background Global aging leads to increased age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is crucial for neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function, but its levels often decline with age. Physical exercise can potentially elevate...

Effects of acute and long-term exercise modalities and doses on brain-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with stroke: a Bayesian network meta-analysis

Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of exercise interventions on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with stroke, and to examine the dose–response relationships associated with acute and long-term exercise. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and APA PsycINFO were...

The exercise-induced irisin–BDNF axis: a systematic review of evidence and translational implications

Current evidence suggests the PGC-1alpha–FNDC5–irisin–BDNF axis may constitute a molecular link between skeletal muscle activity and brain health; causal conclusions are limited by the associative and largely preclinical nature of the evidence.

Association between BDNF and postoperative cognitive dysfunction across surgical stages: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The subgroup analysis indicated that the type of surgery may contribute to the high heterogeneity observed in 24-h postoperative BDNF and in 24-h postoperative ΔBDNF, and suggest that intraoperative BDNF levels and their dynamic changes may serve as preliminary exploratory biomarker for POCD.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor as a predictor of post-stroke depression: An updated systemic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this review was to examine if Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) could be a predictor for post-stroke depression (PSD). We searched Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus databases for all relevant studies, with no language restrictions from inception of databases to 1st September 2025. We analyzed...
