The Benefits of Strength Training for Health
There's not a lot of studies on strength training and health in general, just mainly because over the last 15 years. But based on the current research, it seems like strength training is the best form of exercise for cognition. When I'm doing all these different exercises with dumbbells and barbells and machines and my body, there's lots of focus on my mood. It's using my brain a little bit differently. There's more neural connections there. Yes, but all forms of exercise have shown this benefit. You're right, it has to be the right dose because exercising for maximum performance is not the same as exercising for longevity.
