Abstract: 
There are a number of characteristics responsible for the loss of vascular as well as metabolic integrity which is associated with the aging progression. These vascular and metabolic integrity losses instigate comprehensive damage in regional, biomarker, and functional areas. Instead, Exercise plays a dynamic role in sustaining a healthy body, consequently support to uphold healthy vascular and cellular integrity to maintain a healthy brain. Although the human brain shrinks with increasing age, reports have hinted that the brain is likewise capable of significant plasticity in individuals with progressive age. In this review, the prospective benefits of exercise that have the ability to modulate the plasticity of the aging brain, particularly the hippocampus will be discussed. This review will further elaborate on how these exercises modulate the plasticity of the aging hippocampus based on previous and current reports.
