Just 30 minutes of exercise has benefits for the brain [MedicalXpress.com]

University of Adelaide neuroscientists have discovered that just one session of aerobic exercise is enough to spark positive changes in the brain that could lead to improved memory and coordination of motor skills.

A study conducted by researchers in the University's Robinson Research Institute has found changes in the brain that were likely to make it more "plastic" after only 30 minutes of vigorous exercise.
The study involved a small group of healthy people aged in their late 20s to early 30s who rode exercise bikes. They were monitored for changes in the brain immediately after the exercise and again 15 minutes later.
