A New Peer-Reviewed Study by CogniFit Finds That Brain Training Successfully Enhances Cognitive Ability, Whereas Physical Activity Does Not
Date:3/6/2013

e most effective tool known to science by which healthy older adults may improve cognition.

Despite the main results in this investigation (that aerobic activity did not improve cognitive function), one must emphasize the extreme necessity of physical activity for the elderly. Research on older adults is unanimous in linking physical activity to several physiological and neurological gains. Research also confers that physical activity is an important protective and regenerative defense against cognitive decline. A sedentary life and one of physical immobility would prove detrimental to a person's health, regardless of whether that person engaged in cognitive training.
