The short-term boost our brains get after we do exercise persists throughout the following day, suggests a new study.
The short-term boost our brains get after we do exercise persists throughout the following day, suggests a new study led by UCL researchers.
The research team looked at data from 76 men and women who wore activity trackers for eight days and took cognitive tests each day. In the short term, exercise increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine which help a range of cognitive functions.
"This study provides evidence that the immediate cognitive benefits of exercise may last longer than we thought. It also suggests good sleep quality separately contributes to cognitive performance. They also accounted for participants' average levels of activity and sleep quality across the eight days they were tracked, as participants who are habitually more active and typically have higher-quality sleep perform better in cognitive tests.
