Here's a few key take-aways that I hope I'm not extrapolating.
1. Exercise without the proper "carbo-loading" can eliminate the cognitive benefits that astrocytes provide in restoring glycogen to neurons.
2. Exercising every now and then versus continuously will not provide these benefits. Intermittent exercise may just provide temporary (up to 24 hrs) cognitive benefits whereas continuous exercise may allow it to last longer (more than 24 hrs).
