What types of exercises that target hippocampus?

The best-supported exercises for hippocampal health are regular aerobic activities, especially:

Brisk walking

Jogging or running

Cycling

Swimming

Dancing

A randomized trial found that moderate aerobic exercise increased the size of the anterior hippocampus and improved spatial memory in older adults �. Walking has been particularly well studied, while dancing may add memory, coordination, navigation and social-learning demands �.

Practical routine

Aim for:

30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, 4–5 days per week.

Add strength training 2 days per week; it may help maintain hippocampal volume, even though aerobic exercise has the strongest direct evidence �.

Include activities that require learning—such as dance routines, new walking routes or coordinated sports—to challenge memory and spatial awareness.

Moderate intensity means you can talk in short sentences but cannot comfortably sing. Start gradually, especially if you have a medical condition, and stop if you experience chest pain, severe dizziness or unusual shortness of breath. Written by Nzayisenga adrien

Even conflict within the family is often the result of the failure to resolve this problem of authority. It has clearly become more serious with the emergence of modern societies. People today face this persistent question in new and pressing ways. Communities are exposed to the risks of uncertainty, and suffer the grave consequences...
