Exercise Neuroprotection

Meaning

Exercise Neuroprotection describes the physiological phenomenon where consistent physical activity induces adaptive changes within the central nervous system that increase neuronal resilience against pathological insults, injury, and age-related decline. This mechanism is clinically recognized as a powerful, non-pharmacological strategy to support long-term cognitive function and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders. The positive effects are often mediated by the systemic hormonal and metabolic changes that accompany regular movement.
