Coordinative exercise most helpful for brain
Coordinative or open skill exercises, which require both physical and cognitive engagement, provide significant benefits for brain health and cognitive function. These activities, such as team sports, martial arts, and various forms of dance, necessitate reaction to dynamic environments, enhancing mental engagement compared to closed skill exercises like cycling or running.
