Why Brain Health?
‣ The world is facing an epidemic of cognitive decline, and research demonstrates that exercise may be the most powerful tool is slowing or preventing it.
‣ Neuroscience research surrounding the brain benefits of exercise is evolving. Keeping up can be challenging, confusing, and complex.
‣ This course will significantly improve your understanding of the brain, how it’s affected by exercise, and create programs that make a lasting impact.
