The value of lower levels of physical activity has been one of the major themes of the past twenty years of research into the effects of exercise on long-term health. The advent of low-cost wearable accelerometer devices has enabled researchers to rigorously quantify differences for lesser amounts of physical activity, in order to get a much better look at the lower end of the dose-response curve for exercise. That leads to studies such as the one noted here, in which researchers assess the impact of small amounts of high intensity exercise on brain aging.

Endurance training and good fitness can reduce the risk of dementia and promote healthy brain aging. Even small amounts of physical activity may be enough to protect the aging brain, res…
