The Impact of VO₂ Max on Brain Function and Cognitive Performance

Learning
This page is designed to help develop understanding around the structure and function of the brain. We will explain how changes may occur through time or pathology, what interventions are available and how they may elicit change. We will review the literature and evaluate how powerful the science is supporting potential interventions.
Explore the link between VO2 Max and cognitive performance and how enhancing VO2 max through exercise positively impacts brain function
