Previous research suggests that increased physical activity is associated with higher levels of brain and cognitive health. However, these associations are often observed over long timescales (through outcomes from exercise interventions or by comparing individuals high and low in cardio respiratory fitness). Little is known about how cognition is associated with physical activity at a daily level. Preliminary results from an ecological momentary assessment study of physical activity, self-reported cognition, and mood will be discussed.
