Figure 2. Scatter plots for indirect path associations that showed significant mediation of the direct path between fitness and cognition.
Scatter plots of associations that formed significant indirect pathways between aerobic fitness and cognition. PCCFMC = connectivity z(r) of the posterior cingulate cortex with the frontal medial cortex; MTGMFG = connectivity z(r) of the middle temporal gyrus with the left middle frontal gyrus; MFGFMC = z(r) of the left middle frontal gyrus with the frontal medial cortex. VO2 Max = maximal oxygen uptake (mL/kg/min).
