Summary

This study looked at whether a 12-week exercise program (three times a week) could improve thinking skills in healthy adults aged 50 to 80. Researchers measured hormones like leptin and irisin, as well as other markers linked to brain health. The goal was to understand how exercise might protect the aging brain, not to treat any disease.
