Is it true that a study published in Imaging Neuroscience found that ten minutes of very slow jogging improves mood and focus?
Yes. The abstract of the study published in Imaging Neuroscience reports that ten minutes of very slow running significantly enhanced mood and reduced Stroop interference time (enhanced executive function) in 24 healthy participants. A related discussion piece also notes very slow running activates mood- and executive-function-related prefrontal regions.
