Jogging after learning helps the brain to remember the knowledge better. Let’s use this method to reinforce the lesson learned and also to enhance your health.

When approaching an important exam, students often have to learn and remember a lot of knowledge. However, despite trying hard, the brain still can’t remember a lot of knowledge simultaneously.

A study recently published by the Austrian scientists discovered that jogging can be helpful for this. Accordingly, physical activity in the form of jogging has a direct impact to the storage capacity of the brain, which is used to learn information, according to Daily Mail.

In the study, scientists at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria – Austria (Fachhochschule Oberösterreich) conducted tests on 60 young people aged 16 to 29. They were asked to memorize a variety of information such as recipe travel in the city, some pairs of words in German and Turkish.

60 people were divided into 3 groups. A gaming group, a group of jogging, the other group go out to work arbitrarily. Then, each group participated in memory tests on the information learned.

Results showed that jogging group remembers the most information. Volunteers from the getting out group barely remember. People from gaming group pretty much forget the memorized information.

“The data shows that gaming is not useful for learning. Instead, young people and even adults should also do moderate exercises after the study, “study leader Dr. Harald Kinderman said.

The causes of this phenomenon are complex. Researchers are trying to determine its mechanism of action.
