New research, just published in the journal Communications Psychology , has found the best amount of exercise for the brain,
Accordingly, short bursts of activity can significantly increase brain power, according to science news site Scitech Daily.
Cycling and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have big effects on the brain
Scientists at the University of California Santa Barbara (USA) studied 113 previous studies, with the participation of a total of 4,390 people, aged 18 to 45.
The results found that short bursts of vigorous activity were best for cognition. In particular, cycling and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) had the greatest effect on the brain's executive function, significantly improving memory and attention.
Vigorous activities have the greatest impact on the brain, said lead author Dr. Barry Giesbrecht, a professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara.
Short bouts of exercise have positive effects on the brain, with the strongest effects seen after exercise of less than 30 minutes.
Notably, short bouts of exercise had a positive impact on cognition, with the strongest effect seen after exercise lasting less than 30 minutes. The results showed that the impact of exercise lasting less than 30 minutes was greater than exercise lasting more than 30 minutes, according to Scitech Daily.
The good news is that you don't need to do a lot of exercise to reap the benefits - sometimes just 10 minutes is all it takes. This is encouraging because many busy people don't have time to exercise.
In addition to the brain benefits, this type of exercise also has many benefits for overall health. As previous research has found, HIIT workouts improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of future health problems.
