The Impact of Exercise on Cognitive Functioning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2016
- There is substantial evidence suggesting physical activity and maintaining involvement in cognitively stimulating activities buttress cognition as we age. However, the mechanism by which engaged lifestyles exert their positive influence on cognitive aging is not clear. Clinical neuropsychologist Amy Jak explores the relationship between activity levels, cognition and brain changes over time and how participation in physical activity may contribute to positive cognitive functioning in older adults.

AS a long distance runner, I can attest how my brain feels when I do a high intensity (maximum heart rate >= 140 bits per minutes) run for 1 hour. After finishing my run, I feel very relaxed, my brain feels stimulated, I feel calm, my concentration is better, I think clear, I sleep better and deeper, and more.
Exercise helps so many things but the brain has profound improvements from regular exercise. I have to keep watching these motivation videos to get started on my program. I have a recumbent stationary bike and have used it a lot over a couple of years. Well worth the money as long as I sit on it while on computer. Makes it much easier ot start up.
I was taken to Barrows in Phx when I had sudden onset paralysis starting in my legs. By the time I arrived in an ambulance, my organs were shutting down & I was on breathing machine, feeding tube & received diagnosis of Guillan-Barre. This was in 2008 &with 2 years of therapy I am able to walk again. So grateful for excellent doctors & therapists at Barrows.
I find ANY exercise at all helps my brain fog, mind farting and general cerebral silliness. At one point I was a running junky. At another time I was a weight lifting buff. People thought I was working on a hot bod strategy. Little did they know I was manufacturing my own personal psychopharmological cures 🤪🤟🏾😊
Lifting weights does not have an affect on brain derived neurotrophic factor.
Same here however
I discovered something monumental when I ran and walked.
It isn't what you think it is

@@marlonhernandez8042 Well, what was it?
Real scientists say are willing to say 'we don't know' when we don't. As often as is needed. Amy Jak is a real scientist.
I enjoyed the presentation and thought it was inciteful. I thought Dr. Amy did well presenting the information. She seemed to have a pleasant caring attitude and used a tone that kept you engaged.
Why? Insulin sensitivity is increased. Similarly with fasting. Put the two together and there is synergistic power the medical establishment (pharmaceutical industry) can only dream of harnessing.

A track beside my house walkout at 7:30 overlaps 9 then get two then 9:30 overlapping 10 get two more then top of every other hour get one each then in cooler evening sometime get two again end with 8-12 miles each day. Also lift light weights upper body. I Fast 72hrs each week start Thursday-Sunday end. I still sub a retired teacher Biology. I eat 1.5 protein when not the other not Fasting days a Carnivore. I fell at a gate I thought would open recently no bruises no bones broken just bounced and jumped up scared son but fine. I will be 79 yrs the middle of month. Going for healthy longevity….
One thing that usually gets left out of talks like this is meditation. For me using meditation as a supplement to physical exercise seems to complete the picture. It seems to be as much of a benefit if not more than working out. I have been meditated for a few years now and all of my ailments I used to have have now disappeared. I feel so much sharper and have more energy and just feel overall better about life than ever before. Things that use to bother me no longer bother and I have a greater love for people. I never used to be like this.
Lots and lots of research on meditation. Its this topic people are less informed I guess.
Whenever I do mindful meditation, my coding problem solving performance goes up .
@@pastafarian3758 I love cryptic replies. Please explain yourself.
@Red Lightning look into a website called headspace, its great for beginners. Also drink green tea that'll hone your focus
Here’s hoping all the exercise I did when I was young will pay off.
Walking is the best exercise. It's weight-bearing and we need to navigate our environment while doing it. That doesn't really happen in a swimming pool. The aforementioned is also an argument against treadmills when compared to regular walking.
Apparently "Exercise with a purpose" is more effective than mindless treadmilling, etc.
Walking is not the best exercise unfortunately
I like that this is dry ... she’s not an Instagram or RUclips reality star
I would love to see more research in regards to what anaerobic exercise does to the brain. There are studies that suggest that HIIT sprints have a more profound BDNF release than longer runs do. Fascinating stuff to see. I'm excited for exercise research in regards to neuroscience in the upcoming future!
👌🧠
Yes very true and I believe it does too. The extreme stress with little breaks in between definitely boosts it
Engrossingly articulate and profound; akin to a book that was articulate and profound in its discourse. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
😂When ever I feel like exercise I lie down until the feeling passes 😂
As a complementary plan of care to prevent cognitive deterioration I had include omega 3 and b complex. Also calcium for my bones.
IM STUDING NEUROLOGY BOOKS BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN AS MUCH ABOUT BRAIN HEALTH AS MUCH AS POSIBLE.THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS.AND YOUR ROBOTICS PROGRAM.AND GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU TOO.
God Bless America
God bless Florida
What about dancing as a therapeutic intervention or research on dance exercise to increase participation?
Amiens ARabellis :
She adressed this, and said something to the tune of not enough "high quality" had been done on comparing/pitting different exercises, but that you should do whatever you enjoy in order to ensure consistency :)
@@wontgive8087 Good. Let the research expand.
I agree exercise is needed but if someone is putting garbage in their body (sugar, grains, processed foods etc.) The exercise wont stop cognitive decline.
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740the brain can have all its energy demands met by the liver, from stored glucose, gluconeogenesis, or ketone production - whether or not you eat any carbs at all. There are marathon runners that are on low carb diets. There are essential fats and essential amino acids (protien) but there are no essential carbohydrates
. If there is nothing to fear from grains and sugars why is our country and the world becoming so fat? We will have to agree to disagree
I think a multipronged approach is best to support health and cognitive function. Even if someone has a poor diet, I think they would still be infinitely better off engaging in some form of exercise.
@UCTV Are you pre-approved with any state physical therapy licensure board or agency in the US or Canada?
JUGGLING AND DANCING ARE THE BEST BRAIN BOOSTERS 🧠 ❤
I watched UCTV from my TV and this had damaged my cogntive functions.....yousee i type "cogntive.
I say what Homer said " i am so smart, s m r t"!
So exercise is good for you 🤔
Dr. Jak has interesting info here, worth knowing, though ... um.... ya know... I found her kinda ...um //hard to listen to ..um because she definitely prepared her slides ahead of time, but um so she knew definitely kinda her info, and .... Whew! Gregor Mendel wrote of his astonishing discovery of the laws of heredity but no one noticed because his paper was tedious. So too with Jak's talk. To mix a metaphor, this is an uphill listen.

Not just the “ums”, but a lot of vocal patterns that were very off-putting. Inflections up - she wasn’t asking any questions. Vocal fry. Makes it difficult to listen to and remain engaged. When you’re not absolutely passionate about what you have to share, it shows.
So the 'Dumb Jock' is a myth?
Apparently so
What if they can't walk?
Woooow, extremely funny.
@@buster117 it wasn't a joke, at the moment I cannot walk!
Moment of body is what necessary... Exercise doesn't mean just to walk...Look upon the Body builder who in wheelchair transformed his body into one of the best looking body builder.
@@Disirablepossessions theres so much you can mimic excercise lying down or sitting on a chair ..

Re: "no pain, no gain"
Pain means something is wrong.
A better saying would be "no effort, no reward".
Lifting weights is a deliberate breakdown of muscle cells.
Eating the necessary materials is important.
Muscles are built in the rest phase.
If you break down an amount you can quickly recover from, it feels good not bad, and you can stay consistent with your workout & make progress.
Your comment has nothing to contribute to the topic at hand
the pain.. in no pain refers to muscle soreness or doms
Brush face with tooth brush
What a waste of an hour
Yeah, you could have been doing some exercise...a little steady-state cardio, some HIIT, and some heavy weights...squats, deadlifts, pullups, rows, presses.
Yeah you could've been watching family guy on your couch while your brain deteriorates.
listened to this on my walk/run
