“The people that benefitted the most were those who initially felt the worst. The acute aerobic exercise facilitated the decrease of negative emotions among participants initially struggling with this process on their own.”

“This study also found that more intense and longer duration (40 min.) aerobic exercise increased the probability of an individual subject achieving a significant BDNF increase and in the integral (i.e. the volume of circulating BDNF).”

“Half of the participants engaged in a supervised aerobic exercise 25 to 30 minutes per session for three times per week, gradually increasing to 30 to 40 minutes per session for three or four times per week. The other half of the participants engaged in stretching only.”

“As we age, choline levels increase in the brain and this is linked to cognitive impairment and loss of brain function. Aerobic exercise appears to stop choline levels from increasing too much and boosts brain power by increasing markers of neuronal energy reserve.”

“The researchers attributed these improvements in muscle endurance to naringenin’s capacity to increase the number of oxidative myofibers (muscle fibers that use oxygen) and improve the overall efficiency of aerobic metabolism in the body.”

“Studies indicate that aerobic exercise temporarily increases peripheral BDNF levels at all ages, regardless of health status. Due to practical limitations, it is impossible to measure brain BDNF levels and neurogenesis in humans after they exercise.”

“Obesity - Obesity increases endotoxemia and toll-like receptor activation due to perturbed intestinal permeability and hyperglycemia,, disrupting blood-brain barrier function. Aerobic exercise - Exercise reduces age-related changes to the blood-brain barrier, increasing leakiness and neurodegeneration.”

“For example, 30 to under 45 MET-hours of weekly aerobic activity plus 60–119 minutes of resistance training was associated with a 45% lower all-cause mortality rate than inadequate aerobic activity and no resistance training.”

“Executive function, attention and memory, and global cognitive function improved after either aerobic or resistance exercise in people with Parkinson's disease. Exercise also improved disease severity (analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials).”

“From the article: > The researchers say the improvements are due to a brain protein called brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor, which is released during aerobic exercise. A kind of Miracle-Gro for the brain, BDNF stimulates the hippocampus -- the brain's center of learning and long-term memory -- to sprout new neurons, and it increases connections between neurons.”
