Researchers have well documented through different studies that those individuals engaged in some sort of aerobic activity when training at a medium intensity had the fastest cognitive responses measured by reaction time, the speed that subjects processed information and problem solving. (Jean Blaydes)
This aerobic activity will not only report benefits in a current situation but it will be decisive in how do we age.
Therefore we need to take care of our heart. It is fundamental that we don’t base our training in the highest intensity range. Our body works like a sort of business where in order to make money we need to spend much less than what we make.
So we need to go through the process in different steps: We need to set our target heart rate, which is important because we need to know the difference between training aerobically (when your body uses oxygen) and anaerobic (with no oxygen).
