Une nouvelle étude menée par l’une des Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research de Brain Canada, Dre Maiya Geddes, montre que les espaces verts, les liens sociaux et la connectivité cérébrale peuvent prédire qui reste actif après un diagnostic cardiovasculaire. bit.ly/3WWAhLL
Après un diagnostic cardiovasculaire, pour prédire si les personnes feront de l’exercice, trois éléments sont à prendre en compte : les amis, les parcs et les connexions cérébrales
Ces éléments permettent d’adapter les interventions pour encourager l’activité physique chez les personnes âgées souffrant de troubles cardiaques et circulatoires Bien souvent, un tel diagnostic décle...
