Never too late to start exercising, but the sooner the better. A new study from the University of Illinois says that physically active children tend to be smarter and have better memories than those who do not exercise. Do you want your kids have better grades in school? Well then, send them to gym class.
That exercise improves memory is not new. However, this research has found that the effects of physical activity are already being felt in childhood, as the child’s brain develops well if they exercise.
After analyzing the brains of 49 children aged between 9 and 10 years through magnetic resonance imaging, concluded that the hippocampus, one of the most important structures of the human brain is 12% larger in active children. Consequently, these children had higher scores on memory tests.
Prof. Art Kramer, a leader of this research, says the results are very important for everyone to become aware of how good it is to exercise early. Thus, all parents and schools should take priority and encourage physical activity in children.
As you saw, exercise is as important as studying for school children are held.
