Summary
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) on separate days. Blood samples and a Stroop test (measuring attention and self-control) were taken before and after each session to compare the effects of exercise intensity.
