Exercise-induced changes in working memory are more beneficial to physically healthy people.
Running / Pexels Physical exercise is well known to be linked to cognitive functions of both adults and infants. The mediators of this arrangement, on the other hand, are poorly studied and interpreted. Furthermore, experiments have traditionally concentrated on athletic fitness rather than team activities, which are often easier to incorporate in school environments. In all of these areas, a new paper released in BMC Public Health aimed to add to the science literature. A total of 36 teenagers (16 females, 20 males) took part in 60-minute soccer and 60-minute sitting trials split by one week. The information processing, inhibitory function, and working memory abilities of the participants were then assessed. They were then split into two groups based on how well they worked together during the study. The researchers also checked the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the blood of the volunteers, which is thought to play a role in the connection between physical fitn...
