The influence of physical exercise on cognitive training

The author is a biomedical graduate from UNIRIO, the institution where she carried out this study. The authors found that the practice of physical exercise together with cognitive exercises through an online platform is related to better performance, both in the brain and in the academic area of higher education. They suggest that this is an important tool not only for universities, but also for schools and companies that can apply healthier habits to improve the performance of students or workers, combining the constant practice of mainly aerobic exercises.
