Physical Fitness Linked to Brain Fitness

Study: Physical Fitness Linked to Brain Fitness


Staying physically fit isn't just good for your health. It's also a good way to beef up your brain, according to new research. 


Led by Laura Chaddock-Heyman, a research scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute, a team of researchers found greater aerobic fitness is associated with more fibrous and compact white matter, a type of nerve tissue connected to learning and brain function. Previous research has shown more compact white matter fibers can lead to improved cognitive performance.


More physically fit children had stronger brain tissue linked to cognition.
