In this study faster meant - 5-6 km/hour. Most older aged adults would find this a challenge. So faster is ok if you can do it but normal pace, which is done in everyday life, also lowers risk and is likely to be continued. theguardian.com/society/2023…

Vigorous exercise causes muscles to produce lactate - which crosses the blood-brain barrier and is a messenger for the brain to produce neurotrophic factors like BDNF.
BDNF is like a youth elixir for the brain and the signal that activates it is lactate from high-intensity exercise.
If you want to bathe your brain in BDNF - vigorous-intensity exercise is one of the best ways to do it.
Lactate generated during exercise is consumed by the brain
Not only that
It increases VEGF at the blood-brain barrier
The benefit of that?
Blood vessel growth & repair

“The findings support the UK chief medical officer’s recommendation that people aim for 150 minutes of MVPA per week – about 21 minutes per day.” theguardian.com/society/2023…

It’s been called the Harry Kane ‘signature move’. But others are now doing it too.
Two last weekend when Arsenal played Man Utd: Lacazette v Pogba, then Maguire v Lacazette. Another in the Burnley-Everton game.
