Cardio-Respiratory Fitness and Cognitive Function in Middle Age: CARDIA Study (BBC News / Neurology)

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Dementia and Elderly Care News

Summary There is further evidence for the long-term benefits of physical exercise in the reducing risk of cognitive decline in later life. Research indicates that a higher level of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with better cognitive function (measured in … Continue reading →
