BDNF

This study looked at how the intensity of a single run affects a brain health marker called BDNF, blood lactate, and performance on a thinking test in 12 healthy young men aged 18-25. Participants completed four different running sessions (low, moderate, high intensity, and rest)…

This study looked at how a brain protein called BDNF changes throughout the day and whether those changes affect thinking skills like memory and attention. Researchers also tested if a single session of exercise could raise BDNF levels and improve cognitive performance. Fifteen h…

This study looked at how different exercise intensities affect a brain protein called BDNF, which helps brain cells grow and survive. Twelve healthy young adults did three types of exercise: high-intensity intervals, moderate continuous running, and light jogging. Researchers mea…

This study looked at how two types of small-sided soccer games (touch-limited vs free-play) affect a brain chemical called BDNF and thinking skills in 32 male semi-professional soccer players. Players did both types of games, and researchers measured BDNF, lactate, and cognitive …
