This study aimed to verify the effects of participation motivation in sports climbing on leisure satisfaction and physical self-efficacy. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the causal relationships between participation motivation in sports climbing, leisure satisfaction, and physical self-efficacy, and to determine participation motivation. This study examined this causal relationship by verifying leisure satisfaction's mediating effect on the relationship between participation motivation in sports climbing and physical self-efficacy.

- Alzheimer's disease (AD) primarily causes dementia and is marked by short-term memory loss due to brain dysfunction in the cortex and hippocampus.
- * A study tested the effects of 12 weeks of exercise combined with 40-Hz light flickering on cognitive functions in a 5-month-old 3×Tg-AD mouse model, focusing on neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, and neuroplasticity.
- * Results showed that the combination significantly reduced harmful proteins linked to AD, improved mitochondrial function, and enhanced memory, demonstrating a synergistic effect compared to exercise or light flickering alone.
The hippocampus is a brain region responsible for learning and memory functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of low-intensity exercise and bright light exposure on neurogenesis and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in adult rat hippocampus. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to control, exercise, light, or exercise + light groups (n = 9 per group).
