Are Fit Kids Smarter? H
ow important is it that kids engage in physical activity? Very, according to a
recent study published in the journal, Brain Research. Kids that are more physically active tend to have a better-developed brain, which in turn helps them perform better on memory tests.
The study involved 49 children, ages 9 and
10, who ran on a treadmill to measure their oxygen intake, a standard measure of fitness. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging data of the children found that the more physically
fit kids tended to have a larger hippocampus—about 12 percent bigger, relative to total brain size—than their out-of-shape peers and outperformed them on relational memory tests.
