A recent American study shows that playing sports helps children think better in their studies, especially math.

Because physical activities help stimulate the development of certain brain regions.

According to scientists at Illinois State University, people, especially children, who exercise daily have better logic and thinking abilities than those who are physically inactive.

To come to this conclusion, researchers analyzed the health status of 48 healthy children aged 8 to 10 years old. Children who like to play sports in parallel with studying often pass physical tests and intellectual reactions better, especially in math tests. The cardiovascular and respiratory systems of these children are also very good.

Professor Laura Hayman, author of the study, explained that regular physical activity has a very positive effect on the development of neural connections, especially in the occipital, frontal and temporal regions.

According to scientists, the brains of primary school children from 6 to 10 years old are still growing very strongly, so parents should let their children play a favorite sport, increase physical activity, and exercise regularly.

This will help children develop their learning ability with high concentration and creativity. And most importantly, they will have good physical health and avoid being overweight or obese./.
