Executive function
no changein humans1
Moderate-intensity walking has no effect on executive function in humans (p ≥ 0.365).
“Following walking, activation in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex remained stable in older adults but significantly decreased in young adults, without corresponding behavioral changes (p ≥ 0.365).”

Moderate-intensity walking is associated with task-related BOLD activation in humans.
“Regardless of age, activation in the right postcentral gyrus and bilateral superior parietal lobules remained stable after walking but significantly decreased after sitting.”
