Research Hit: Brain function boosted by daily physical activity in middle-aged and older adults

There is a lot of research that shows that physical activity is good for cognitive function (and just about all other aspects of health) and one that I have reported on often. This piece adds yet more evidence to this pile of research. This study out of the University of California tracked 90 50- to 74-year old participants over 14 days using accelerometers to measure physical activity and cognitive tests performed at home.
