Summary: Recent research conducted by the University of Portsmouth has revealed that moderate exercise can enhance cognitive performance (CP) even in conditions of sleep deprivation and low oxygen levels. The study involved two experiments with a total of 24 participants, examining the effects of partial and total sleep deprivation, as well as hypoxia, on CP. The results consistently showed that a 20-minute cycling session significantly improved CP regardless of sleep status or oxygen levels. This groundbreaking study contributes to our understanding of how physical activity can help mitigate the cognitive deficits caused by common stressors.
