As we read in the article, a physically active person is better able to concentrate on the case, effectively draws up an action plan, and it is not difficult to complete several tasks at once.
Aerobic exercise improves blood flow to the brain, which allows for increased supply of oxygen and important nutrients to the brain.
Neurogenesis is the growth and maturation of brain cells. Exercise can stimulate the production of Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which supports neurogenesis.
Neuroplasticity is the capacity for brain cells to change and adapt, including forming new connections between existing brain cells. When we learn new information or skills, new connections between brain cells are established. As the newly learned material is practiced and repeated, those new connections become stronger.
Neuroplasticity is helped by not just cognitive, but also physical exercise.
