Research has shown that aerobic exercise can help in enhancing the effects of brain training, especially when BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is increased in the brain after exercising.
When functional tests such as head rotation speed, suppression of emotions and memory ability are conducted before and after exercising, the score after exercising is increased. The results also showed its effectiveness even for short 3 minutes exercises; moreover, a 20-30 minute aerobic exercise can be expected to be even more effective.
Furthermore, brain training is still effective even if it is not done right after exercising as even if several hours passes, BDNF is still increased in the brain, so the effects of brain training is more effective.
In addition, performing brain training in mornings when the brain is activated is recommended, but what is important is that exercise is continued regularly. Exercise and brain training is best done at a time when it is easy to make it a regular habit.
