Physical education is good not only for muscles, but also for the brain, said our heart and muscles - said an expert in the field of the influence of physical culture on cognitive abilities, professor of psychology from the University of Illinois Art Kramer. There are now dozens of studies showing that aerobic exercise can increase the size of critical brain structures and improve cognitive performance in children and the elderly, he notes:.

“Increased physical activity also has a direct and relatively rapid impact on cognition and brain health.. Such results have been demonstrated for several decades in studies on the physical activity of animals..

Human studies, many of which were conducted in Cramer's lab, also show that regular exercise, such as regular walking, also improves mental performance.. Their MRI shows that older people who play sports noticeably improve the structure and functioning of their brain, according to Sports Medicine..
