Physical Activity for Brain Health and Fighting Dementia
What sort of physical activity and how much you need to do
Alzheimer’s Australia’s Your Brain Matters program is based on scientific evidence that a number of health and lifestyle factors that we can all do something about are associated with brain function and the risk of developing dementia.
It is not possible to provide a physical activity formula that is optimum for brain health and function, or for lowering dementia risk. The evidence to date comes from a wide variety of studies. These measure physical activity in different ways, look at different types and intensities of activity, and use different duration's and frequencies of exercise sessions.
Fitness Australia is working in partnership with Alzheimer’s Australia to promote the benefits of physical activity for brain health. See how physical activity can improve your brain health and reduce your risk of dementia.
