UCSB neuroscientists find evidence for an effect of acute physical activity on cognition in young adults.

Cycling and high intensity interval training ( HIIT ) produced the most consistent effects in improvement of memory, attention, executive function, information processing and other cognitive functions.

The effects were strongest for studies that tested cognition after exercise, as opposed to during exercise.
