Running found to significantly contribute to superior brain connectivity, study suggests
-In a study, conducted by University of Arizona, examined the changes in the brain associated with endurance running (a physical form of workout that involves repetitive rather than complex fine motor skills)
-The study included males aged between 18-25 years, with similar BMI and education background. The MRI brain scans of the adult males runners and adult males non-runners were compared.
-It was observed that the males involved in physical activity showcased different connections between the regions of the brain such as frontal cortex (involved in cognitive skills).
-The study clearly suggested that exercise, apart from helping one stay fit and healthy, also affected the human brain activity significantly.
