Summary

This study looked at 256 healthy adults to see if leg muscle strength and power can predict how the brain responds during exercise. Participants did strength tests and cycling while brain activity was measured with a special light-based scanner. The goal was to understand the connection between physical fitness and brain health, not to test a treatment.
