A new study found that doing just under 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous exertion each day improved study participants' working memory but had its biggest impact on executive processes such as planning and organization.
People jog through the Central Experimental Farm during heavy fog and rain in Ottawa, on Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022.
Here's the good news: People who spent "even small amounts of time in more vigorous activities — as little as six to nine minutes — compared to sitting, sleeping or gentle activities had higher cognition scores," said study author John Mitchell, a Medical Research Council doctoral training student at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health at University College London, in an email.
"Given we don't monitor participants' cognition over many years, this may be simply that those individuals who move more tend to have higher cognition on average," he said. "However, yes, it could also imply that even minimal changes to our daily lives can have downstream consequences for our cognition."
While the study had some limitations, including a lack of knowledge about the health of the participants, the findings illustrate how "the accumulation of movement patterns in a day to a week to a month is just as, if not more important, than just getting outside for a single session of exercise," he said.There was bad news as well: Spending more time sleeping, sitting or engaged only in mild movement was linked to a negative impact on the brain.
In addition, the study's findings on sleep can't be taken at face value, he said. Good quality sleep is critical for the brain to operate at peak performance.
