Boost your brainpower
If you want to keep your brain sharp and healthy, you need to know about brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Discover how HIIT can unlock the power of BDNF and boost your cognitive performance.
What is BDNF?
The benefits of exercise for BDNF
Exercise stimulates the production of BDNF in our bodies, a molecule that plays a crucial role in keeping your brain healthy and young.
Greater increases in BDNF levels were reported at higher exercise intensities, according to a study.
