A recent study conducted by Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, explored the effects of acute exercise on the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of brain networks in children aged 9 to 13. The study found that a single bout of aerobic exercise increased connectivity within the frontoparietal network (FPN) and its integration with subcortical regions involved in movement and cognition. Additionally, the exercise condition led to a segregation between the FPN and the default mode network (DMN). These findings suggest that acute exercise may have transient mental benefits on cognitive and emotional control in youth. [Extracted from the article] |
