Short bouts of moderately intense exercise boost brain function and self control by increasing blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Physical exercise is particularly important for children and teens because higher brain functioning boosts academic achievement and helps control behavior and emotion.
Exercise is already used to treat conditions characterized by impaired higher brain functions, such as attention hyperactivity deficit disorder and autism, and has been proven to help delay the ravages of dementia.
