A new study by scientists from Australia has shown that the memory and motor skills of the human brain improve in just 30 minutes after exercise or exercise..

Neuroscientists at the University of Adelaide in South Australia studied the brain patterns of healthy adult participants immediately and half an hour after exercise..

Their goal was to find a link between physical activity and the plasticity of brain processes..

Previous research has shown that physical activity can positively affect brain function and plasticity.. But it was not known in what time window the maximum effects of a single session appear..

“Now we know for sure that even a single session has a positive effect on the brain, and we know how long this lasts.. Exercise-induced changes in the brain may explain why physical activity is good for memory and higher neural function,” explains Ridding..

There is now growing evidence that aerobic (breathing) exercise positively affects brain function in several ways at once - at the cellular and molecular level, as well as through brain architecture..

“Although it was a small sample, the study helped us understand the big picture of how exercise affects the brain.. We know that plasticity is very important for recovery from brain damage, so new therapeutic options are opening up for patients.. Further research should confirm the benefits of exercise for such patients, as well as for healthy people, ”concluded the scientist..
