The Takeaway

Despite these promising findings, there’s still much to explore in the neuroscience of fitness. Questions remain about how different forms of exercise (such as aerobic versus resistance training) impact the brain and how factors like age, genetics, and initial fitness level may influence these effects.

However, the current evidence strongly supports that regular physical activity has remarkable benefits for brain health and cognitive function, underscoring the value of integrating regular exercise into our daily lives for physical and mental health benefits.
