Resistance and cardiovascular training of varying durations improve brain function both acutely and long-term.

“in every case where you explore the acute the immediate changes that occur in brain output and function after people do that sort of exercise you're going to see significant increases when one does physical exercise short duration high-intensity cardio or higher intensity resistance training single joint training compound training single joint isolation exercises compound exercises one sees these increases in brain performance at least acutely in the immediate stage after the training”

“today we are going to discuss how different forms of exercise resistance training cardiovascular training of both long medium and short duration can be used to improve the way that your brain functions acutely meaning immediately in the minutes and hours and the day that you do that exercise as well as in the long term in the days weeks and months after you perform that exercise and of course if you're exercising regularly the effects of exercise on brain health and performance compound over time making you better able to learn things are able to retain information from the past and indeed to expand your brain's capacity to learn new types of information in new ways”
