Un buon sonno e un\u2019attivit\u00e0 fisica regolare sono essenziali per la salute mentale e fisica. Ma l\u2019esercizio fisico pu\u00f2 essere d\u2019aiuto se sei privato del sonno? Uno studio ha scoperto che un esercizio moderato per 20 minuti dopo una notte insonne pu\u00f2 migliorare la potenza cerebrale.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori dell'Universit\u00e0 di Portsmouth hanno valutato in che modo il sonno, i livelli di ossigeno e l'esercizio fisico influenzano le capacit\u00e0 cognitive di una persona, la capacit\u00e0 della mente di eseguire compiti. IL studio<\/a>, pubblicato sulla rivista Physiology and Behaviour, suggerisce che un esercizio di moderata intensit\u00e0 pu\u00f2 aiutare a migliorare la funzione cognitiva delle persone indipendentemente dalla privazione del sonno e dai livelli di ossigeno.<\/p>\n

\u201cSappiamo dalle ricerche esistenti che l\u2019esercizio migliora o mantiene le nostre prestazioni cognitive, anche quando i livelli di ossigeno sono ridotti. Ma questo \u00e8 il primo studio a suggerire che migliora anche le prestazioni cognitive dopo la privazione del sonno totale e parziale e quando combinato con l\u2019ipossia (livelli di ossigeno insufficienti)\u201d. disse<\/a> Joe Costello, autore corrispondente dello studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI risultati aggiungono significativamente ci\u00f2 che sappiamo sulla relazione tra esercizio fisico e questi fattori di stress e aiutano a rafforzare il messaggio che il movimento \u00e8 una medicina per il corpo e il cervello\u201d, ha aggiunto Costello.<\/p>\n

Il team ha condotto due esperimenti, ciascuno coinvolgendo 12 partecipanti. Nel test iniziale, i ricercatori hanno valutato in che modo la privazione parziale del sonno influiva sulle prestazioni cognitive di una persona. Durante questo esperimento, ai partecipanti \u00e8 stato permesso di dormire solo cinque ore ogni notte per tre giorni.<\/p>\n

Il secondo test ha valutato l\u2019impatto della privazione totale del sonno e dell\u2019ipossia, in cui i partecipanti hanno trascorso una notte senza dormire e sono stati posti in un ambiente ipossico.<\/p>\n

Ogni mattina, ai partecipanti di entrambe le prove sono stati assegnati sette compiti da svolgere a riposo e mentre andavano in bicicletta. \u00c8 stato inoltre chiesto loro di valutare i loro livelli di sonnolenza e umore prima di completare i compiti.<\/p>\n

I risultati di entrambi gli studi hanno mostrato un miglioramento delle prestazioni cognitive dopo 20 minuti di ciclismo.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori hanno affermato di aver scelto un\u2019attivit\u00e0 moderata poich\u00e9 un esercizio pi\u00f9 intenso potrebbe trasformarsi in un fattore di stress e portare effetti negativi.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoich\u00e9 consideravamo l\u2019esercizio fisico come un intervento positivo, abbiamo deciso di utilizzare un programma di intensit\u00e0 moderata come raccomandato nella letteratura esistente. Se l\u2019esercizio fosse stato pi\u00f9 lungo o pi\u00f9 difficile avrebbe potuto amplificare i risultati negativi e diventare esso stesso un fattore di stress\u201d, ha detto Costello.<\/p>\n

\u201cUna potenziale ipotesi sul perch\u00e9 l\u2019esercizio migliora le prestazioni cognitive \u00e8 legata all\u2019aumento del flusso sanguigno cerebrale e dell\u2019ossigenazione, tuttavia, i nostri risultati suggeriscono che anche quando l\u2019esercizio viene eseguito in un ambiente con bassi livelli di ossigeno, i partecipanti erano comunque in grado di svolgere compiti cognitivi\u201d. meglio di quando sono a riposo nelle stesse condizioni\u201d, ha detto il co-autore principale Thomas Williams.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori hanno anche esaminato le possibili ragioni per cui l\u2019esercizio fisico aiuta le prestazioni cognitive anche quando una persona \u00e8 privata del sonno e ha bassi livelli di ossigeno. Lo attribuiscono ai cambiamenti negli ormoni che regolano il cervello, nel flusso sanguigno cerebrale, nell'eccitazione e nella motivazione dopo l'esercizio.<\/p>\n

Lo studio ha anche scoperto che le prestazioni cognitive di una persona non dipendono interamente dall\u2019area della corteccia prefrontale (PFC) del cervello.<\/p>\n

"I nostri risultati suggeriscono che i meccanismi alla base delle prestazioni cognitive potrebbero non essere isolati in quest'area e, invece, dovremmo considerarla il prodotto di una serie di processi coordinati ampiamente distribuiti in diverse regioni corticali e sottocorticali", ha spiegato il co-autore principale Juan Ignacio.

But can exercise help if you are sleep-deprived? A study has found that moderate exercise for 20 minutes after a sleepless night can improve brain power.Researchers from the University of Portsmouth evaluated how sleep, oxygen levels and exercise affected a person's cognitive ability, the capacity of the mind to perform tasks. The study, published in the journal Physiology and Behaviour, suggests that a bout of moderate-intensity exercise can help improve the cognitive function of people regardless of sleep deprivation and oxygen levels."We know from existing research that exercise improves or maintains our cognitive performance, even when oxygen levels are reduced. But this is the first study to suggest it also improves cognitive performance after both full and partial sleep deprivation, and when combined with hypoxia(insufficient oxygen levels)," said Joe Costello, corresponding author of the study."The findings significantly add to what we know about the relationship between exercise and these stressors and help to reinforce the message that movement is medicine for the body and the brain," Costello added.The team conducted two experiments, each involving 12 participants. In the initial test, researchers evaluated how partial sleep deprivation affected a person's cognitive performance. During this trial, the participants were allowed to sleep only for five hours every night for three days.The second test assessed the impact of total sleep deprivation and hypoxia, where participants spent a night without sleep and were put in a hypoxic environment.Each morning, the participants in both trials were given seven tasks to perform at rest and while cycling. They were also asked to rate their levels of sleepiness and mood before completing the tasks.The results of both trials showed improvement in cognitive performance after 20 minutes of cycling.Researchers said they chose moderate activity as more intense exercise might turn into a stressor and bring negative effects."Because we were looking at exercise as a positive intervention, we decided to use a moderate intensity program as recommended in existing literature. If the exercise was any longer or harder it may have amplified the negative results and became a stressor itself," Costello said."One potential hypothesis for why exercise improves cognitive performance is related to the increase in cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, however, our findings suggest that even when exercise is performed in an environment with low levels of oxygen, participants were still able to perform cognitive tasks better than when at rest in the same conditions," co-lead author Thomas Williams said.The researchers also looked into possible reasons for how exercise helps with cognitive performance even when a person is sleep-deprived and has low levels of oxygen.
