Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that as little as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day can increase levels of endorphins, which are natural mood-boosters. This effect can be seen with just one session of exercise and does not require a specific frequency or intensity of exercise. Options A and C are incorrect as exercise actually increases the secretion of dopamine and serotonin, which can improve mood. Option B is incorrect as there is no specific number of times per week that is required for exercise to have a mood-boosting effect.
