Good afternoon, dongniu is here to remind you of sports again! The benefits of running to our body are well known, but its changes to the brain are rarely known, and some people even discriminate against people who often run

.

He thinks that running almost does not need to use his brain and think, but relies on his physical strength and blood

.

He even teases the runners as “simple minded and developed limbs”

.

Do people who often run really become simple minded and well-developed? On the contrary, many authoritative studies have proved that regular running can bring more oxygen to the brain and promote blood circulation

.

This will make the brain younger, smarter, thinking more agile, a lot more

.

So, to hell with all this sarcasm

.

.

Finnish scientists have done such a study, found 10 pairs of male twins, half of them ran at least twice a week, while the other half did not exercise

.

After three years of persistence, brain scans of all the people found that the gray matter area of the people who ran every week was more developed, which affected the speed of the brain processing information

.

Running can improve the vitality of the brain, stimulate the brain and improve the thinking ability

.

I wonder if the majority of runners feel the same

.

Running brings a lot of inspiration to the brain whenever you are unable to make a decision on something

.

The right plan and ideas are often generated spontaneously in the process of running

.

.

To improve memory and learning ability, Karen Postel, President of the American Academy of clinical neuropsychology, said, we need to make the brain continuously produce new brain cells throughout human life

.

So far, only vigorous aerobic exercise can achieve this requirement

.

The main area where these new cells appear is the hippocampus, which has a lot to do with learning ability and memory in the brain

.

In addition, when you stop running, your body also reduces cathepsin production, which is also related to memory

.

.

When runners develop long-term running habits, the blood flow of the executive network system in the frontal lobe behind the forehead increases

.

It makes the brain clear, and in turn affects many of the characteristics of people: planning ahead, focusing, goal setting, and time management

.

And concentration can cover the role of reflex brain, so that people can control their thoughts

.

Positive thinking produces positive hormones

In the famous knowledge video program Ted, Dr

.

Suzuki of Neurology at New York University said that more than 1500 people took part in the test after more than 20 years of follow-up research

.

In addition to delaying life expectancy, running can also deliver more oxygen to the brain, stimulate the growth of new central cells, slow brain atrophy, and help prevent cognitive dysfunction

.

And those who do not exercise, the brain is equivalent to accelerated atrophy for two years! 5

.

The brain feels relaxed and happy: running has a biochemical effect on the brain and releases a substance that changes the runner’s mood, German researchers said

.

One of the chemicals, endorphin, is a natural tranquilizer produced by the brain, which makes the body relaxed and happy, making people feel happy

.

Running can help people get rid of negative emotions, and the effect of relieving pressure is obvious

.

After running, you will feel very happy, full of energy, easy to move, no feeling of fatigue and effort, and forget any thoughts and worries in your mind

.

.

The University of Canberra research conducted an exploratory experiment on this issue

.

The experiment was divided into two groups: professional athletes and amateur athletes

.

Then they were asked to participate in cognitive tasks

.

Due to the need to focus on the brain to complete, after a long time will cause mental fatigue, and lead to brain inhibition

.

After the cognitive task, the 20 minute test was completed

.

The purpose of this is to compare the effects of brain fatigue on motor ability

.

The results show that the correct rate of professional athletes is significantly higher than that of amateurs

.

.

In a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine report, young subjects with an average age of 12 were invited to complete multiple 10 second sprints in 10 minutes, followed by cognitive tests

.

Then on another day (either the day before or the day after the Sprint), they took another 10 minutes off to complete the same cognitive test

.

The results showed that compared with the rest, the executive function of the subjects was enhanced just after the run and 45 minutes later

.

Based on their research, sprint has obvious benefits for executive function of the brain

.

The real difference between running and not running is not immediately apparent, but gradually accumulated

.

If we keep running for a long time, our brain will be changed, and all kinds of abilities will be reshaped and activated, and unexpected effects will be received

.

So what happens to your brain after running? –
