1 Part 3: How Exercise Affects the Brain Cognition -refers to thinking, reasoning, remembering, imagining, or learning Cognitive Reservethe mind’s resilience to brain neurotically damage

2 Types of Exercise that is the Most Beneficial AEROBIC RESTISTANCE TRAINING FLEXIBILITY

3 Types of hormones Dopamine The major behaviors dopamine affects are movement, cognition, pleasure, and motivation. Dopamine is an essential component of the basal ganglia motor loop, as well as the neurotransmitter responsible for controlling the exchange of information from one brain area to the other

4 Serotonin is a neurotransmitter - this is a chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses across the space between nerve cells or neurons. We call these spaces synapses Serotonin plays an important part in the regulation of learning, mood, sleep and vasoconstriction (constriction of blood vessels). Experts say serotonin also might have a role in anxiety, migraine, vomiting and appetite.anxietymigraine More Hormones

5 Exercise is beneficial for cognition: increase in blood and oxygen flow to the brain increased levels of norepinephrine and endorphins increased growth factors to help create new nerve cells.

6 Exercise provide protective effects to the brain - heart disease - type 2 diabetes - reduce anxiety - depression positively affects the portion responsible for memory and learning improves connections between brain and nerves improves attention and information processing skills decreases the likelihood to get obesity

7 How does exercise impact ADHD? It helps people with ADHD focus better calm their behavior for up to 4 hours after exercising Relaxes anxiety
