included in 90-min, Half Day & Full Day sessions
Throughout the session, participants will engage in practical exercises and activities designed to help them understand and apply the concepts covered.
These may include physical activity demonstrations, goal setting exercises, and other practices that promote the integration of physical activity into daily life.
By the end of this session, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical activity and mental performance. They will have learned about the ways in which exercise impacts the brain, including its effects on neuroplasticity, brain structure, and cognitive function.
Additionally, participants will have gained insights into the research on exercise and the brain, including the benefits of different types of exercise and the optimal duration and intensity of exercise for promoting cognitive function.
Through this session, participants will be better equipped to make informed decisions about incorporating exercise into their daily routine to improve their cognitive function and overall well-being. They will have a better understanding of how exercise can positively impact their mental performance, and the importance of regular physical activity for maintaining brain health throughout their lifespan.
