10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise on a stationary bicycle immediately improved executive function by 14% in healthy, young participants.

Other studies have shown that a short burst of exercise )10-20 minutes) improves learning and memory and increases the production of the neurotransmitters glutamate by 5% and GABA by 7%, as well as norepinephrine, a catecholamine involved in attention and focus.
