In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast, Darius Namdaran and Dr. Erica Warren explore the connection between exercise and executive function. They delve into research that reveals how acute (single-session) and chronic (regular) aerobic exercise can enhance executive functions across various age groups. Studies indicate that acute exercise significantly improves cognitive functions like inhibition and selective attention, while chronic exercise supports working memory, attention, and flexibility. The hosts also discuss the potential mechanisms behind these effects, such as increased brain oxygenation and neurotransmitter release, and analyze what these findings imply for students and professionals.
