Although the article focuses on exercise for older folks, I have a hunch that it applies to younger people too.

In univ I started to take a short run if I had no lectures or labs scheduled. Short 3km track and around 20 minutes or so, 30min including showering.

It did wonders for my ability to sit down and focus until late evening.

Did it continue amazing you.

I mean how long did you do it for, I am wondering whether it was a quick boost and goes to previous "levels" after you get used to it, or whether it was sort of permanent.
