Effect of Exercise on Memory ? A Survey Based Research
V. Padmaharish [2] | Dr. Preetha [10]
Abstract: Aim This survey is done to examine the effects of exercise on memory. Objective To prove that exercise plays an important role in increasing the potential of memory. Background There are plenty of good reasons to be physically active. Big ones include reducing the odds of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes and other reasons like it can also improve memory and thinking. Exercise increases neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, which is important for memory function. New neurons are added continuously to certain areas of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus and olfactory bulb. Furthermore, trophic factors, associated with progenitor cell survival and differentiation alterations in synaptic strength, long-term potentiation and memory function are elevated after exercise. This research is actually done to assess the memory of students of age group 16-21 by asking a few questions related to it. Comparisons between two groups of students i. e. ( those who exercise regularly and those who don't) were performed. Reason To emphasise the importance of physical activity in the promotion of learning and memory functions.
