EXERCISE CAN MAKE CHILDREN SMARTER, SCIENTISTS SAY

"The researchers said this suggests there is an independent association between cardiorespiratory fitness and gray-matter volume in different areas of the brain. If true, the findings point to exercise as a possible intervention against the negative effects of obesity on children’s brains.

Interestingly enough, the researchers found that only aerobic exercises seemed to have this effect (students were also given other types of exercises to do)."
