There is an increased risk of cognitive impairment as we age but research shows that exercise can have a profound impact on cognitive function and brain health. Join us as we delve into the physiological mechanism underlying how physical activity enhances brain function and examine evidence-based strategies for incorporating exercise into lifestyle interventions for improving mental well-being and cognitive performance. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, this class illuminates exercise as a potent form of medicine for optimizing brain function and promoting overall mental wellness.

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

1.Define the role of exercise in cognitive enhancement and its impact on brain health.
2.Discuss empirical evidence supporting the use of exercise as a tool for improving cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and executive function.
3.Formulate personalized exercise plans, utilizing evidence-based strategies to optimize cognitive function in diverse populations.
