Sport in childhood strengthens mental abilities in old age

People who were active athletes in childhood, they are less likely to have symptoms of aging such as the lack of thinking and Alzheimer's disease. This was confirmed by Canadian scientific team from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Toronto, has published this study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. According to the results of this study, it was noted that this relationship appeared more in women.

In this study, test and examination of more than 9000 people questioned about their activities and sports in the early days of age, they received a few results in the race for a small intellectual skill carried out with them in the past.

General conclusion was that people who practice sports at a young age they get better results in this study, confirming that there is statistical evidence of a relationship with physical activity among children and cognitive abilities in old age and the test result.

According to Middleton, the supervisor of this test, although it has been known for a long time that physical activity helps people with cognitive abilities limited, but has not been proven so far (even in this study) to the existence of a relationship between physical activity at a young age and the emergence of these symptoms in old age . Therefore urges the supervisor of the importance of taking preventive measures at a young age and parents to monitor their children and guide them the right way (at least prevent them to sit for long periods in front of the television and computer). However, this does not mean that those who did not practice any physical activity at a young age are at risk of infection, where can people between 30 and 50 years of age also reduce this risk, the results proved also that these have suffered much less than the risk of those who were exercise and movement non-existent for them.
