The Benefits of Exercise on Brain Health
1:51:12 - 1:55:25 (04:13)
Exercise, particularly high intensity training and aerobic exercise, has been shown to improve learning and memory, combat brain atrophy, and increase the growth of new neurons in the brain. Maintaining muscle mass, particularly in the legs, has also been associated with increased brain volume and less brain aging.

Summary
Exercise promotes brain health by increasing the growth of new neurons, improving learning and memory, and combating brain atrophy and neuropsychiatric disorders. High-intensity training also boosts neurotransmitter production and lactate production which can be used as a source of energy for norepinephrine-producing neurons.

Summary
Building leg strength through weight training can have long-term benefits for brain health, according to a study involving over 300 twins. Greater leg power was linked to increased brain volume and less brain aging over a 10 year period, while other fitness measures were not associated with brain aging.
