Midlife moderate and vigorousphysicalactivity levels associated with brain power
Previously published studies link daily moderate and to health, but few have included time spent asleep, which makes up the largest component of any 24 hour period, say the researchers. They therefore adopted a compositional approach to discern whether MVPA relative to all other daily movement behaviors might be best for midlife cognitive performance.
They took various cognitive tests for verbal memory and executive function . Scores for each test were calculated produce an overall global score for memory and executive function. Analysis of the activity tracker data showed that participants clocked up an average of 51 minutes of MVPA, 5 hours 42 minutes of light intensity physical activity, 9 hours 16 minutes of sedentary behaviors, and 8 hours 11 minutes of sleep over a 24 hour period.
To better understand the joint associations of movement with cognition, the researchers reallocated time from one component to another, minute by minute, to estimate what impact this might have on global cognitive performance scores.Individuals' cognition showed a 1.
Participants began theoretically declining in their cognition ranking within the study sample by 1-2% after just 8 minutes of more vigorous activity was replaced by sedentary activities. Ranking continued to decline with greater declines in MVPA.or 7 minutes of sleep was linked with similar falls of 1-2% in cognition ranking, again worsening for greater losses of MVPA.
