Keep your brain sharp with these physical exercises

Australian scientists have conducted a research, during which they learned that aerobics has a positive effect on brain neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to create new neural connections. The memory, the speed of habit formation, and the acquirement of new skills directly depend on this.

It should be clarified that one cannot become smarter by doing sports, but they can keep their brain in good shape. Continuing the research, scientists from the University of South Australia were able to identify the two most effective exercises.

128 volunteers aged from 18 to 65 years took part in the experiment. At the time of the research, they were all healthy. Before and after performing physical exercises, volunteers were examined using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The greatest differences in the results were recorded after continuous moderate aerobic exercises and intensive interval training. Scientists have recognized them as the most beneficial for the human brain.
