HIIT workouts linked with better brain health, research finds – even five years later

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Researchers looked at 194 adults aged 65-85 who had no signs of cognitive decline.

Participants were assigned to a low-intensity exercise, moderate-intensity or HIIT workout programme.

Participants completed three workouts per week for six months .

Participants in the HIIT group made fewer errors on a memory test than those in the other groups.

MRI scans of the brain showed that the right hippocampus, an area involved in memory, was better preserved in HIIT .

These benefits were sustained even five years after the study was completed.

HIIT is a workout that alternates short bursts of intense exercise (close to your max effort) with brief periods of recovery.

No matter the structure of the workout, HIIT provides many benefits to both brain and body.

For example, a HIIT workout done on an exercise bike may consist of a 5-minute warm up followed by ten 30-second sprints.
