Resistance Training

For acute cognitive benefits: a couple of sets of 8 to 12 reps at about 80% of max, not maxing out, using compound or multi-joint machine movements such as leg press, chest press, and lat pulldown, for about 20 to 30 minutes. Longer-term studies used 2 to 3 sessions per week, 5 to 6 exercises, 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps for 6 to 12 months.
