Walk to think

Exercise improves learning on 3 levels: first, it optimizes your mind-set to improve alertness, attention and motivation; second, it prepares and encourages nerve cells to bind to one another, which is the cellular basis for logging in new information; and third, exercise spurs the development of new cells from stem cells.


Children solve problems better after exercising. Those, whose brain is alert "as during exercise" do cognitive tasks better even without exercising.
