THE RESEARCH IS CLEAR
Physical exercise positively impacts mood, improves brain function and reduces stress, in addition to improving overall health.
WHAT DOES THE LITERATURE SAY?
…exercise is as effective as certain medications for treating anxiety and depression.
Exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving self- esteem and cognitive function.2 Exercise has also been found to alleviate symptoms such as low self-esteem and social withdrawal3.
One small but scientifically sound study from Japan found that jogging thirty minutes just two or three times a week for twelve weeks improved executive function. But it’s important to mix in some form of activity that demands coordination beyond putting one foot in front of the other…. Aerobic exercise and complex activity have different beneficial effects on the brain. The good news is they’re complementary.
Physical activity programs that also contain brain training can produce greater cognitive benefits in older adults; especially when the physical activity and brain training are done simultaneously, and regardless of program characteristics like length, session duration, and session frequency.
ABOUT E5 COLLECTIVE
E5 Collective is a fresh combination of endurance training, brain training and HIIT, that also promotes readiness and recovery.
WHAT IS E5 COLLECTIVE? We’ve examined the science and literature around variability training, brain training, play and mindset and perspective. Based on our findings, we’ve created an innovative, inclusive formula to help build strong and resilient bodies, and tough, positive, healthy mindsets.
We focus on and explore the 5 action words – PREPARE, ENDURE, ENGAGE, PUSH and RECOVER and we bring them to life through physical movement using a variety of training strategies. E5 COLLECTIVE is a time-based format, designed to be inclusive and accessible to a wide range of ages, fitness levels and athletic abilities.
