In this first study investigating physical activity and cognition in YOPD, the results suggest that increased physical activity relates to improved processing speed and attention. Replication is recommended with a larger sample size. A longer, more intense physical activity manipulation and utilizing the study's strengths of online recruitment and intervention delivery are also recommended.
