From: Does breaking up prolonged sitting improve cognitive functions in sedentary adults? A mapping review and hypothesis formulation on the potential physiological mechanisms

Fig. 1

The hypothetical framework of the present mapping review. Substantial evidence is available to support that moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) influences cognitive functions. Evidence is emerging to substantiate the effects of reducing sedentary behavior and breaking up sitting time on cognitive functions. Abbreviations: BDNF – brain derived neurotrophic factor; DOPA – dihydroxy phenylalanine; PA- physical activity
