Lo sport sviluppa i neuroni (tratto da Focus Brain Trainer n. 4)
Non è solo la memoria a ricevere benefici dall’attività sportiva.
Una ricerca condotta all’Università dell’Illinois dimostra che l’esercizio
fisico (in particolare quello aerobico, come le camminate, la corsa, la
bicicletta) stimola i lobi frontali, la sede delle funzioni esecutive
(è qui che si prendono decisioni, si pianificano le varie attività, si
“ragiona”).
“La risonanza magnetica ha confermato la nostra ipotesi: l’attività fisica
aumenta il flusso sanguigno in queste regioni” ha detto Arthur Kramer, il
coordinatore dello studio.
“Inoltre migliora la capacità di concentrazione: aiuta cioè a
ignorare le informazioni distraenti quando si esegue un compito”.
La rivista americana Newsweek ha dedicato un numero agli
effetti dell’attività fisica sul cervello.

'If you're sporty, you must be thick' is a misguided
cliché. In fact, a new study says exercise actually
increases memory and learning potential. Victoria
Lambert reports
A certain Prof Lynn is quoted: “At UCL, we have a bright bunch of
students and a high proportion of them are physically active.”
