Research Hit: With Minimum Effort for Better Brain Processing: Study Shows Benefits From Only 10 Minutes of Running
That sounds like good news for some!
Indeed it is, though we know that short exercise interventions can have suprisingly large benefits such as multiple 3-minute walks during the day.
So do I really only need to run for 10 minutes to reap the benefits of exercise?

They also had blood flow analysed in the prefrontal part of the brain using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
And what were the results?
