Slow running benefits: Boosts in mood and facilitation of prefrontal cognition even at very light intensity

Chorphaka Damrongthai,

Abstract: Although running upright has been reported to have positive effects on both physical and mental health, the minimum running intensity/speed that would benefit mood and prefrontal cognition is not yet clear. For this reason, we aimed to investigate the acute effect of very slow running, which is classified as a very light intensity exercise, on mood, executive function (EF), and their neural substrates in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Twenty-four healthy participants completed a 10-minute very slow running sessi… Show more

“…Physical exercise, similar to the physiological stressor of hypoxia, has been widely demonstrated to support the hormesis principle [24]. Consistent with this, our accumulated ndings strongly suggest that milder levels of exercise have bene cial effects on brain function [25][26][27][28][29], further supporting this hypothesis. Based on our empirical evidence, it is possible that levels of hypoxia milder than those previously studied may exist, which could act as hormetic stressors.…”
