According to a new a research exercise effects on extend to the brain. Michelle W. Voss, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her students came to the conclusion that both aerobic exercise and strength training play a vital role in maintaining brain.
Aerobic exercise is important for getting a head start during childhood on cognitive abilities that are important throughout life, researchers said.
Just like physical inactivity is associated with poorer academic performance and results on standard neuropsychological tests, exercise programs appear to improve memory, attention, and decision-making.
Effects also extend to young and elderly adults, with solid evidence for aerobic training benefiting executive functions, including planning, and inhibition, and increasing the volume of brain structures important for memory.
It also increases the production of neurochemicals, which promote growth, differentiation, survival, and repair of brain cells.

Last night at Norway bomb was blasts and more then 85 people were killed. Dozens of youths attending a political gathering were reported to have been shot dead when a terrorist disguised as a policeman opened fire on a holiday island on a lake near the capital.
Seven people had earlier been killed in central Oslo when a car bomb went off outside the country’s main government building.
Members of the country’s ruling Labour Party were the targets in both cases. Police had confirmed a total of 17 deaths last night.
British security forces were immediately placed on alert amid fears that Norway’s worst terrorist violence be the first in a series of attacks on the west.
The bloodshed followed repeated warnings that Al-Qaeda was planning a Mumbai style attack on countries.
One Islamic terror group quickly claimed the attacks were “revenge” for Norway’s engagement in Afghanistan, but last night Norwegian police said the attack did not appear to be the work of Islamist terrorists.
A 32-year-old man arrested in connection with the Utoya island shooting was named last night by the the justice ministry as Anders Behring Breivik, Norwegian national. Investigators believe he was also involved in the bombing.

England Cricket team director Andy Flower wants that the England team fast bowler Stuart Broad to concentrate on improving his accuracy.
Since England team all-rounder Andrew Flintoff retired, Stuart Broad has obtained a reputation for being the aggressor in England's pace attack, a bowler who can unsettle the batsmen with quick bouncers while the others focus on pitching it up and swinging the ball.
England pacer Stuart Broad is now competing with Tim Bresnan for a stain in the first test match versus India at Lord's on July 21 after struggling with his form in previous matches.
Andy Flower said that he didn't like the term 'enforcer'. Stuart Broad got pace and bounce and he's a great competitor, but he can be more accurate.
Andy Flower added that, I've heard some crazy stuff about him being and I hate this word an enforcer.
Stuart Broad's job is to create pressure and to take wickets and to do that you generally bowl at off stump.
So his job is not to rough up the opposition. It is not to be this foolish enforcer.
We always select our best XI and Stuart has been a big part of that for the last few years. That's the criteria we'll use when picking the side for Lords. He's in the squad but we've yet to make a decision about the best XI, Andy Flower added.
Indian team will play four tests match series in England and the series is being called the battle for the number one ranking.

Hacker group Anonymous has launched its own social networks after being rejected by Google's freshly-launched online community.
According to news at the website anonplus.com, which it described as a platform to distribute information.
The drive to build a social network came after the Anonymous account was suspended at the Google+ online community, which was launched last month by the Internet giant as a challenge to Facebook.
A message on the anonplus.com website promised that the Anonymous social network would be for everyone and listed online monikers of developers taking part in the project.
Anonymous, which rose to infamy last year with cyber attacks in support of controversial whistle-blower website WikiLeaks, posted the suspension notice from Google on its blog at Tumblr.
The group has been linked to attacks on Visa, Mastercard and Paypal, which blocked donations to WikiLeaks after it published thousands of US diplomatic cables.
Early this year, Anonymous took credit for breaking into the website of HBGary Federal because the firm was working with federal agents to expose the hackers' identities.
Anonymous last week released a trove of military email addresses and passwords it claimed to have plundered from the network of US defense consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton.
