Exercise Cognitive Benefits

Could this apply to exercise studies as well?

To downvoters: let me know you think about the following study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2017/08/23/bjsports-2017-0...

Not OP, but my interpretation: exercise isn't confined to mentally or socially induced stress, and perhaps the body tolerates it better.

I was joking. Seriously, people should just exercise in a manner that they can do it consistently for the present and future health. There are physical and mental benefits in many different types of studies. The only exceptions are people with rare diseases that prevent normal body function with exercise. The mechanism by which this benefits mice may not be the same in humans but that's no reason to not exercise.

Perhaps the problem is that the study only considered exercise is moderate. I've found high intensity exercise for short periods of time (20-40 minutes, 3-4 times a week) has far more effect for me personally than moderate exercise (45-60 minutes, 5-6 times a week) I've seen more personal improvement doing CrossFit (www.crossfit.com) than I ever did previously going to the local gym.

This article is useless clickbait.Exercise and good sleep are far better than some cherry-picked exercises that this article says I need to do, and will have many more benefits. Here are the "Neurobiological effects of physical exercise" from Wikipedia [0]:> The neurobiological effects of physical exercise are numerous and involve a wide range of interrelated effects on brain structure, brain function, and cognition. A large body of research in humans has demonstrated t

Does this have any correlation to regular aerobic activity?

Look at the HN thread about this article [1], specifically the top comment. Among other things, that study failed to take into account the "plateau effect" that occurs in all types of exercise regimens after several weeks of the same type of training.[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=438124

> Woah woah woah there. That doesn't follow at all.And the article acknowledges that it might not, while discussing as yet understudied observations.In the sentence right before your quote: "We’re still studying this question, but our best answer at the moment is: work hard at something."While your comment is true (no established causation yet), this reminds me of the climate change debate. For the sake of argument, human carbon production may or may not contribute to

It's critical in life but there are limits to what exercise can do of courseI've been trying to run myself out of long-covid for four years now, doesn't workAnyway that's an odd website to link to when there are endless studies and papers on thishttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286741...
