Physical activity is believed to stimulate the growth of new neurons, leading to better cognition and memory and reduced likelihood of depression, as well as triggering the release of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), which can enhance cognition by boosting the neurons’ ability to communicate with one another. Exercise may increase catecholamines, or brain chemicals such as norepinephrine and dopamine, which typically serve to energize and elevate mood.
