四六级、考研英语同源外刊精读《赫芬顿邮报》20分钟骑行运动可提升记忆力

     Many will know that exercise seems to reduce dementia risk (a 2022 paper found that walking 3,800 steps a day may lower your likelihood⁽²⁾ of developing dementia⁽³⁾ by 25%, with increasing benefits up to 9,800 steps).

      很多人都知道，运动似乎能降低患痴呆症的风险（2022年一篇研究论文发现，每天步行3800步可将患痴呆症的概率降低25%，步数增至9800步时，健康益处还会持续增加）。

     Even when it’s not directly dementia-related, movement appears to improve memory and thinking skills which become more vital⁽⁴⁾ in later life.

       即便运动与预防痴呆没有直接关联，体育活动似乎也能改善记忆力与思维能力，而这些能力在晚年生活中愈发重要。

       A recent paper, published in Brain Communications, has found that 20 minutes of cycling a day can create “ripples” in the brain that might help us to process and store information more efficiently.

      发表在《大脑通讯》期刊上的一篇最新研究论文发现，每天骑行20分钟能在大脑中产生 “脑电波涟漪”，有助于我们更高效地处理和储存信息。

      How did cycling seem to affect participants’ memory?

      骑行究竟会对受试者的记忆力产生怎样的影响？

    The research involved 14 participants aged from 17-50. They tracked their brain activity before and after 20-minute stationary cycling sessions⁽⁵⁾ through an intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG).

      该项研究共有14名17至50岁的受试者参与。研究人员通过颅内脑电图技术，监测受试者进行20分钟固定自行车骑行前后的大脑活动。
