Exercise Boosts Brain Power

New research reveals that moderate exercise improves cognitive performance (CP) even under conditions of sleep deprivation and low oxygen levels.

The study involved two experiments with 24 participants in total, examining the effects of partial and total sleep deprivation, as well as hypoxia, on CP.

Results consistently showed that a 20-minute cycling session significantly enhanced CP regardless of sleep status or oxygen levels.

This groundbreaking study adds to the understanding of how physical activity can mitigate the cognitive deficits caused by common stressors.
