I wonder if anyone has tried giving a lecture or something like a TED talk in front of an audience on treadmills or spin bikes? I'd love to go to a class like that. I know there have been studies that found kids learn better if they have short activity breaks throughout the day.

So let's see, a little steady state for my hippocampal neurogenesis, the occasional dance for my white matter....

lol. I ought to plan a brain rotation.
I began thinking about what "dancing" may include, especially because we're posting on a forum called Video Fitness.

The study text:

Quote:
Dance as a Complex Intervention

Dance is a pleasurable and captivating activity, which involves aerobic exercise, sensorimotor stimulation, and cognitive, visuospatial, social, and emotional engagement.

[snip]

Our current data indicate that this broad, multimodal stimulation had greater benefit for WM integrity than aerobic exercise alone (i.e., Walking and Walking + Nutrition).
If I do a dance video by myself at home without anyone else around, does this activity fall somewhere between "aerobic exercise alone" and dancing socially? That guess is just an initial, very tentative one; does anyone know of more substantial research here?

I think you're more advanced in Japanese than me

But, I'm doing good thanks, what about you? (I think that is what you asked?)

LOL, I'm not advanced. I copied and pasted that from a Japanese page.

When searching for something else related to the more recent thread "Grateful to be fit!," I found this piece, which I hadn't seen before, by the same author:

Brawn and Brains

Quote:
Muscular power, especially in the legs — which are the largest muscles in the body — is widely accepted as a marker of healthy aging. Older people with relatively powerful leg muscles get around better than those with weak legs. They also tend to have sharper minds, studies show.

[snip]

[The researchers in this study] found that of the 324 twins, those who had had the sturdiest legs a decade ago showed the least fall-off in thinking skills, even when the scientists controlled for such factors as fatty diets, high blood pressure and shaky blood-sugar control.

The differences in thinking skills were particularly striking within twin pairs. If one twin had been more powerful than the other 10 years before, she tended to be a much better thinker now.

In fact, on average, a muscularly powerful twin now performed about 18 percent better on memory and other cognitive tests than her weaker sister.
Later there are mentions of caveats, which studies tend to have, but I found this piece interesting. (I also noticed that although "Which Type of Exercise Is Best for the Brain?" is from February 2016 and "Brawn and Brains" is from November 2015, just four months earlier, the latter piece doesn't seem to acknowledge the existence of the former.)
