Regular intensive physical activity increases the level of intelligence in women, researchers at the University of Manchester.

Scientists conducted a study in which, using magnetic resonance imaging, they checked the activity of the brain of the subjects. It turned out that women who had recently completed physical exercises in certain areas of the brain had an increased activity of neurons. These zones are responsible for decision-making and analysis of incoming information, researchers explained..
