Summary

This study looked at whether exercise can improve memory and change gut bacteria in healthy adults aged 45 to 65 who were not already active. Researchers measured memory tasks and analyzed stool samples to see if exercise made a difference. The goal was to learn more about how physical activity affects the brain and gut, not to treat a disease.
