Nat Hum Behav: How does physical exercise promote mental health?

May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire
BIOON/ -- Healthy bodies are home to healthy psychology, and physical activity can improve the body's cognitive function, but we don't know exactly which kind of exercise/exercise keeps the brain in top shape, according to a study published in the international journal
Nature Human , a study by scientists from the University of Basel and others image source: In the CC0 Public Domain article, researchers evaluated 80 independent studies to determine key characteristics, and endurance training, strength training, and mixed training seemed to improve the body's cognitive performance, however, coordination and challenging exercises requiring complex sports patterns and interaction with other athletes were significantly more effective; As with our physical condition, cognitive ability changes over a lifetime, and cognitive ability has great potential for improvement in childhood (cognitive development stage) and in old age (cognitive function degradation), but the researchers did not find signs of different levels of exercise in different age groups, researcher Puhe said In addition, physical activity from primary school to old age does not require fundamental changes to improve the body's cognitive performance, so people of different ages can be combined for a common goal in exercise, and this has been implemented in a joint exercise program for selective children and grandparents, and such programs can be further expanded We now know that the same level of physical activity has different effects on the health of both men and women, but researchers have now been able to confirm the effect on the body's mental health, i.e men may benefit more from physical activity or benefit more; In contrast, the positive effects on girls and women slowly disappear if the intensity of exercise increases too fast, the researchers said, suggesting that such groups would need to opt for moderate to low-intensity physical activity if they wanted to improve the body's cognitive abilities (Bio Valley Bioon.com) Original Origin: Ludyga, S., Gerber, M., P.he, U et al.
