Abstract
Recent empirical work suggests that acute exercise engagement may help to subserve episodic memory function. In this paper, we discuss these effects as well as introduce a hypothesized model suggesting a potential bi-directional relationship between exercise and memory. We provide empirical support for each of the pathways delineated within this model. Future research is needed to empirically evaluate the totality of this model. If such work demonstrates utility and predictive validity, then this model will have important implications not only for clinicians, but for the exercise neurobiology field as well.
