Acute effect of low-intensity aerobic exercise on eliciting enhanced parietal activation and promoting executive function performance more than moderate-intensity exercise
LAE optimizes parietal functional connectivity and executive speed, with stride length and cortical functional connectivity predicting post-exercise cognitive benefits. These findings advance our understanding of the relationships between exercise and brain health, particularly those linked with motor learning and M1 plasticity-mediated cortical network dynamics.
