Fitness and Cognitive Development in Young Adults


Exercise is essential for brain health, not only for adults, but for children as well. Latest study suggests that Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ Scores. The study shows a clear link between good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test.

Being fit means that you also have good heart and lung capacity and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen. Youngsters who improve their physical fitness between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance.

Physical Education has an important place in schools, and is an absolute must if we want to do well in math and other theoretical subjects. Study shows those who were fit at 18 were more likely to go into higher education, and many secured more qualified jobs.

The mind and body truly is connected. A Fit Body is not only a Healthy body, but a healthy mind & brain. Get your workout on!
