Highlights
- •
Athletes exhibited lower baseline BDNF levels compared to sedentary individuals.
- •
BDNF serum levels increased after a single session of acute aerobic exercise.
- •
The response to serum levels of BDNF depends on different levels of physical activity.
- •
A single session of acute aerobic exercise is insufficient to enhance executive function.
