Ask Gilad
I recently read about Brain Endurance Training (BET), is this something you recommend for an 60 plus woman?
Â
This is something fairly new and used for athletes, I find it interesting and I belive everyone can benefit from it.Â
Doing a little research I found:
Brain Endurance Training (BET) offers significant benefits for older adults, combining cognitive tasks with physical exercises to enhance both mental and physical performance. A recent study (see below) showed that BET participants experienced a 7.8% increase in cognitive performance and a 29.9% improvement in physical performance when fatigued, outperforming those who only exercised.
BET improves attention, executive function, and physical endurance, even under mentally taxing conditions. This approach helps older adults maintain cognitive sharpness and physical capability when tired, potentially reducing the risk of falls and accidents.
By simultaneously enhancing cognitive and physical resilience, BET presents a promising intervention for promoting healthy aging and maintaining independence in daily activities.
I'm looking into creating a program based on BET.Â

Here's a summary of the key points from the article on brain endurance training (BET):
Study Overview
A new study conducted by researchers from the Universities of Birmingham, UK, and Extremadura, Spain, has found that brain endurance training (BET) can significantly improve cognitive and physical performance in older adults 1,2
Key Findings
- Cognitive Improvements: BET enhanced attention and executive function in older adults 1.
- Physical Performance: The training improved both physical endurance and resistance exercise performance1.
- Comparative Results:
- Cognitive performance: BET group showed a 7.8% increase, compared to 4.5% in the exercise-only group 1.
- Physical performance: BET group achieved a 29.9% improvement, versus 22.4% for the exercise-only group 1.
- Fatigue Resistance: BET was found to be effective in improving performance even when participants were fatigued1.
Study Methodology
- Participants: 24 healthy sedentary women aged 65-78 1.
- Duration: 8 weeks 1.
- Training Groups: BET, exercise-only, and control (no training) 1.
- Session Structure:
- 45-minute sessions, three times per week 1.
- 20 minutes of resistance training and 25 minutes of endurance training 1.
- BET group additionally completed a 20-minute cognitive task before exercising 1.
Implications
- Healthy Aging: The research suggests BET could be an effective intervention for improving healthspan in older adults 1.
- Fall Prevention: By enhancing both cognitive and physical performance, BET may help reduce the risk of falls and accidents in the elderly population 1.
- Mental Fatigue Countermeasure: BET appears to be an effective strategy against mental fatigue and its negative effects on performance in older adults 1.
The researchers emphasize the need for further studies with larger sample sizes including both men and women to confirm these promising initial findings 1,2.
