If you have ever been able to solve a problem after a quick walk or you have come up with a solution to a difficulty while swimming a few lengths in the pool, it is no coincidence: physical activity promotes neurological and physiological activation, something that favors optimal performance during cognitively demanding tasks. Research has shown that physical activity generates neurophysiological processes that favor learning: the development of…

They loosen muscles, prepare joints, get warm before starting to run, which gives them health, relaxation and new neurons for the brain. “I like to exercise, especially because in the laboratory we investigate the effects of exercise on the brain. So, seeing the effects in the brain, we still want to run more,” said María del Carmen Vivar Estudillo, of the Laboratory of Neuroplasticity Cinvestav IPN.
