      Your brain has slightly less oxygen when you exercise as this is directed to your muscles. That’s why people who do endurance sports (or exercise for a very long time) may report being forgetful or not being sure where they are. You don’t hear your brain bounce when you exercise as it is surrounded by a fluid that protects it in your skull.
