Physical activity may help mitigate sleep‐related cognitive deficits in older adults
Our results suggest that physical activity and sleep interact to influence cognitive function, and the efficacy of exercise interventions to improve cognition may be influenced by sleep. Taken together, our data suggest that physical activity may compensate for some negative influences of poor sleep on cognition.
