Intermittent fasting and exercise provide neuroprotection from age-related cognitive decline. A link between these two seemingly distinct stressors is their capability to steer the brain away from exclusively glucose metabolism. This cerebral substrate switch has been implicated in upregulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein involved in neuroplasticity, learning and memory, and may underlie some of these neuroprotective effects.

- The study investigates how air temperature and humidity independently affect endurance exercise performance, physiological responses, and subjective feelings of effort.
- Elevated air temperature increases heat strain and negatively impacts aerobic performance, though not as severely as previously thought.
- The research emphasizes that absolute humidity plays a crucial role in exercise performance under heat stress, making it a key factor to consider in endurance training and competition.
