Further research needs to test the effectiveness of acute exercise on the sensory sensitivity of people with sensory processing dysfunction. 

Lawrence University

They found a gradual improvement in the participants’ sensory sensitivity during exercise. It seems to the researchers that moderate steady-state exercise causes individuals to be more receptive to sensory stimulation. The researchers also found that there was a rapid decrease in sensory sensitivity to baseline levels after the termination of exercise. It does remain determined whether the duration and the intensity of exercise influences the maintenance of sensory sensitivity after exercise.

Results: the effects of acute exercise on sensory processing.
