Did you know a study says you doing cardiovascular can make you more intelligent?
We all know exercise is good for the body and it helps you to relax once the pain wears off. But now it is being claimed by some new researchers who have carried out the study that it is also good for your brain.
A study revealed that the fittest young men showed increased intelligence, better performance on thought process tests and higher educational achievements.
However, the link was only found with cardiovascular fitness and not muscular strength. Cardiovascular exercise is a form of exercise which is designed to work the cardiovascular system, improving lung, heart, and along with improving the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
The primary goal of cardiovascular exercise is to get the heart rate up and keep it up for a sustained period. Jogging, cycling, and aerobics classes are some common examples of cardiovascular exercise.
Neuroscientist Dr Maria Aberg of Gothenburgh University studied the data of over 1 million Swedish men born between 1950 and 1976 who joined the army at 18.
She said “These results support the notion that physical exercise could serve as a public health strategy to optimise educational achievement.
My thought
This could be good news for all the students starting their college or university. They can do as much cardio exercise as possible in their spare time and sharpen their brain a bit to get better marks and grades. It is also something teachers should consider doing more of with youngsters in schools and giving them a better chance.
So what happens next?
- We have the world’s students doing cardio
- Everyone becomes more bright and intelligent
- Everyone has better educational achievement
- Too many people pass
- Not many get jobs due to high demands
- Employers struggle with employing as they cannot decide with tons of graduates with excellent marks applying
- Schools, colleges, universities make their test papers more difficult.
- Students fail to pass
- A survey carried out say’s the country you live in has the lowest pass rates and lacks intelligent people
- Cardio no longer helps you pass.
That was just a little bit of fun. It is truly a great thing for us to be able to do things to sharpen our brain. Exercise is always good, and we all should be doing it regardless.
But as we know, the students are the worst at doing anything healthy, so this maybe something to motivate them. It is not only for students, but anyone who thinks they could do with a better and sharper brain.
If you know any students or have some in your family, then maybe you should tell them about this or even better forward this to them.
Just remember it is cardiovascular exercise that helps.
