"Light Exercise: Unlocking Surprising Brain Benefits for Seniors"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily

Mild exercise, such as walking or yoga, has been found to significantly improve cognitive function in older adults, particularly by enhancing the efficiency of the prefrontal cortex. This discovery opens the door for accessible exercise programs for seniors with low fitness motivation. The study showed that even short bouts of light exercise over three months can invigorate the brain and result in short-term boosts in cognitive capabilities. The findings highlight the positive impact of stress-free mild exercise in strengthening the prefrontal cortex and enhancing cognitive function among older adults.

"Exercise: The Key to Sharper Minds in Aging Adults"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News

Regular mild exercise, such as low-intensity cycling, three times a week for three months, can significantly improve cognitive function, particularly executive function, in older adults. The study found that these cognitive enhancements were associated with increased efficiency of the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for executive functions. These findings highlight the potential benefits of mild exercise in improving cognitive function and may inform the development of exercise programs for older individuals with low fitness levels or limited motivation to exercise.
