GCBH Releases Report on Physical Activity Recommendations for Brain Health

The Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH), an independent collaborative of policy experts, doctors, and academics, including AUPOA Unit Director Professor Nicola Lautenschlager, has published the first evidence-based consensus report on physical activity for brain health.

Based on scientific evidence, the GCBH have concluded that a physically active lifestyle, including purposeful exercise such as: walking, cycling and strength training, can have positive impacts on brain health. Further to this, incorporating physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle can help to reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
