Walking For <br />Just 10 Minutes , Improves <br />Brain Performance.<br />The neurological study was by researchers <br />with the U.C. Irvine Center for the Neurobiology <br />of Learning and Memory ...<br />... and the University of Tsukuba, located in Japan.<br />The study was conducted with healthy <br />college students on both campuses.<br />It found that even short exercise <br />has a significant and immediate impact <br />on brain function.<br />The students were asked to engage in <br />extremely low impact exercise for ten minutes.<br />Once the ten minutes had passed, <br />the participants would then undergo <br />a difficult memory test.<br />According to researchers, the results <br />clearly showed that the exercise improved <br />student performance on the test.<br />Part of the experiment also included <br />testing conducted in an MRI machine.<br />It was exciting to see those effects occurring so quickly and after such light exercise, Michael Yassa, U.C. Irvine Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, via 'The New York Times'.<br />Researchers say that the results are useful, <br />especially for those who may be <br />averse to vigorous exercise.<br />This is potentially good news for those who <br />are extremely overweight or living <br />with a form of disability.<br />We are not talking <br />about marathons, Michael Yassa, U.C. Irvine Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, via 'The New York Times'.<br />They also point out that the positive effects <br />light exercise has on a person's brain seem <br />to be immediate.<br />It looks like people can improve their memories with a short walk or an easy session of something like yoga or tai chi, Michael Yassa, U.C. Irvine Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, via 'The New York Times'
