Article Synopsis
- Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes an overwhelming urge to move the legs, leading to poor sleep quality, cognitive changes, and decreased overall quality of life.
- The study analyzed how exercise affects recognition memory in an iron-deficient (ID) rodent model of RLS, involving male Wistar rats divided into various groups based on diet and exercise levels.
- The results showed that the ID group exhibited worse sleep quality and memory impairment, while the control group improved in memory after exercise, suggesting that long-term aerobic exercise may protect against cognitive declines associated with RLS.
