Benefit of human moderate running boosting mood and executive function coinciding with bilateral prefrontal activation

Abstract Running, compared to pedaling is a whole-body locomotive movement that may confer more mental health via strongly stimulating brains, although running impacts on mental health but their underlying brain mechanisms have yet to be determined; since almost the mechanistic studies have been don...
