ÖZET
 Aerobik aktivite, zihinsel sağlığın gelişimi için güçlü bir uyarıcı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Egzersizin beyinde öğrenme veya yeni deneyimlerle oluşanlardan daha farklı, spesifik değişiklikler oluşturduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırmada, aerobik egzersiz protokollerinin bilişsel performans üzerindeki değişimlerini ortaya koyan araştırmaların derinlemesine incelenecek olması ve ilaveten egzersiz ve biliş ilişkinin altında yatan fizyolojik mekanizmaların irdelenecek olması, gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalar için önemli bir referans kaynağı olabilir. Araştırma, geleneksel derleme olarak planlanmış ve ortaya konmuştur. Geleneksel derlemeler, belirli bir konuda yayımlanmış 2 veya daha fazla çalışma üzerinde inceleme yapılarak bulgu, sonuç ve değerlendirmelerini sentezleyen, belirli bir yöntem izlenmeksizin, farklı yollarla ve farklı kaynaklardan elde edilen bilgilerin derlendiği çalışmalardır. Aerobik egzersiz formlarından hem akut hem de kronik antrenman formunun yürütücü işlevler üzerinde olumlu etkilerinin olduğunu gösteren birçok araştırmanın olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, aerobik egzersizin yönetici işlevlere etkisi üzerinde henüz bilinmeyen birçok durumun olduğu da aşikârdır. Dolayısıyla, özellikle egzersiz süresi, sıklığı, yoğunluğu gibi değişkenlerin dikkate alınarak yapılacak araştırmalara ihtiyaç olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bununla birlikte; çocuklar ve gençlerde fiziksel aktivite, egzersiz, oyun ya da beden eğitimi aktivitelerine katılımın fiziksel performans unsurlarının gelişimi dışında bilişsel süreçlere de katkısı olduğunun ortaya konması, fiziksel aktivitelere katılım oranını artmasına katkı sağlayabilir. Bu durumun da, araştırmanın önemini artıran unsurlardan biri olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu noktada; araştırmanın konuya ilgi duyan akademisyenlerin yapılmış araştırmalar ile ilgili güncel bulguları inceleyerek, yeni fikirler ortaya koyması ve araştırma tasarlaması açısından yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Aerobic activity is recognized as a powerful stimulant of the development for mental health. It has been revealed that exercise creates specific changes in the brain that are different from those that occur with learning or new experiences. The research will be an important reference source for future research, as the studies that reveal the changes of aerobic exercise protocols on cognitive performance will be examined in depth and additionally, the physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between exercise and cognition will be examined. The research has been planned and put forward as a traditional review. Traditional reviews are studies that synthesize findings, results, and evaluations by examining 2 or more published studies on a particular topic, in which information obtained in different ways and from different sources is compiled without following a specific method. It is seen that there are many studies showing that both acute and chronic forms of aerobic exercise have positive effects on executive functions. However, it is obvious that there are many unknown conditions on the effect of aerobic exercise on executive functions. Therefore, it is thought that there is a need for researches that will take into account the variables such as exercise duration, frequency and intensity. In addition to this; demonstrating that participation in physical activity, exercise, games or physical education activities in children and young people contributes to cognitive processes besides the development of physical performance elements may contribute to an increase in the rate of participation in physical activities. This situation is also thought to be one of the factors that increase the importance of the research. At this point; it is thought that the research may be useful for academics who are interested in the subject to examine the current findings related to the research done, put forward new ideas, and design research.
