6-month high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function and cognition in older adults for up to 5 years.
University of Queensland researchers found high-intensity interval exercise for six months significantly improves brain function and cognition in older adults for up to five years.

The research suggests exercise may alter aging trajectories, keeping people cognitively healthier and potentially saving communities from dementia costs.
