The experiment involved, of course, children. The scientists watched the children, who had to remember the new information. As a result, the researchers found that boys and girls involved in sports answered questions better than their peers who were not used to physical exertion. And concretizing the results, scientists concluded that fitness training improves memory by about 30 percent. Well, stimulate the brain as a whole.Photo:Sophisticated technologies that test the functioning of both individual neurons and the entire brain have proven that exercise strengthens the brain and enhances cognition. As strange as it may sound, the stress on the muscles affects the thinking process more beneficially than thinking itself. The fact is that during physical activity, the branches of nerve cells begin to grow vigorously. Such a strange tree - the more the muscles strain, the more actively its branches grow. And these very "branches" just determine the intellectual processes in the child's brain. And as an adult, scientists have also come to the conclusion that it is easier for children to learn if the lessons as such alternate with periods of physical activity. The thing is that children are very difficult to perceive the continuous load on the brain. Therefore, it should be diluted with sports. What is the most beneficial sport for a child's brain?

• Gymnastics. And not necessarily sports or art. Any, even the most gentle gymnastics promotes blood circulation improvement, and it only on advantage to a food of a brain.
• Walking. Especially in the fresh air.
• Swimming. This is the safest kind of load that can be used by almost everyone.
• Dancing. In addition to the all-round burden on the body, dances well co-ordinate, master body, are useful for posture. Yes, and the mood is raised.
• Game kinds of sports (football, volleyball, tennis,badminton and others). Deserve special attention, because they combine several important points: physical activity, a lot of positive emotions, training of attention and reaction speed. Also, playing sports often take place in the open air, which again is extremely useful for the brain.

However, scientists, having learned to mark new cells, have made an amazing discovery - adults nevertheless have new neurons! And neurons are just those cells that are responsible for processing, storing and transmitting information using electrical and chemical signals. And - tadam! - their growth is stimulated again by physical exertion. So the expression "running after intellect" is not a metaphor. So do not forget to throw out children from time to time because of books and give them plenty of fun.
