Barbell Shrugged [Brain Health] How Exercise and Strength Training Impact Cognitive Function w/ Dr. Mike Zourdos, Anders Varner, Doug Larson and Coach Travis Mash #720
Nov 8, 2023
Dr. Mike Zourdos discusses the impact of exercise and strength training on brain health. They explore velocity-based training, cognitive function, and the role of BDNF in promoting neuron survival. The importance of preserving myelin thickness, investment in brain health and resistance training, and the concept of proximity to failure for muscle growth are also covered.
