Keep your body and your mind with the development of motor activity

Keep your body and your mind with the development of motor activity

Practice some sport keeps the brain young for as long as possible, a healthy mind in a healthy body. For example, learning to play golf than gray matter in areas responsible for motor learning in the visual cortex dorsal to the package. Laboratory studies have shown relatively young people to practice the skills of specific mobility increases the size of the gray and white sections of the brain. At present, European researchers to check whether training persons with ages through activities on the ground could lead to similar benefits.

Invest leisure time in dynamic activity protects the body and nurtures the mind

The study consisted of two groups:

The experimental group: composed of 11 relatively junior golfer, average age 51 years, received 40 hours training Golf skills, and speed training coincided every person with learning curve.

The Group also consisted of witness: 11 people, selected to the age and sex with the experimental group, and had not received any training.

Magnetic resonance image shows:

-The experimental group: increased gray matter since the beginning of the study in the packet stream of dorsal dorsal visual cortex, as well as in other regions responsible for motor learning (abdominal sections of Central alsalmen motor and sensory motor and sensory central sulci and the abdominal section of a forward movement lower and frontal waltelviv the stones wall lower limbs), and accompanied by both increasing the frequency of exercise and access to a higher level of skill with a greater increase in contact right parietal — nuchal translucency in contrast to the control group: No change or even lack of gray matter.

Abstract:

The researchers showed that the new motor skills and spatial planning and Visual and physical awareness and skills to control the body promotes growth in areas of the brain responsible for these skills.

Likely to be learning activities in leisure time in moderate speed has a similar effect, the higher the intensity of exercises the results appeared.

Mental exercise may bring brain development, which goes against the tendency to atrophy with age in some people.
