Overview

Randomized trial shows low-intensity aerobic exercise boosts cognitive performance in healthy young adults, suggesting new exercise guidelines.

Key Points

  • Low-intensity aerobic exercise significantly improves cognitive performance, particularly executive function, compared to moderate-intensity exercise.
  • Participants in the low-intensity group showed improved Stroop task reaction time and enhanced parietal functional connectivity.
  • Assessment involved measuring cognitive tasks, brain activation via functional near-infrared spectroscopy, and motion analysis during exercises.
  • Findings suggest low-intensity exercise may optimize cognitive function through improved brain connectivity, highlighting its relevance for cognitive health.
