Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes
after a year of aerobic (H s(BJ) workouts and uncovered a potentially significant process: Exercise
increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, showed this blood flow can help
even older people with memory issues improve cognition
(认知), a finding that could guide future
Alzheimer's disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center
In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory
problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches(伸展运动)
" We' ve shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by
adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle, said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT
Southwestern Medical Center who led the study."The aerobic exercise group showed a 47%
improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain
imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study,
showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory
