Exercise activates the memory area of the brain, and continuing exercise may have a positive effect on memory
By
As you get older, not only your ability to memorize but also your ability to remember general knowledge declines. However, the research result that this 'remembering ability' improves immediately after exercise has been reported at the 2019 International Association of Neuropsychological Psychology.

The published study is from a research team at the University of Maryland called 'Semantic Memory Activation After Acute Exercise in Healthy Older Adults' in a healthy elderly person. In this study, 26 subjects between the ages of 55 and 85 were given a 30-minute medium-intensity aerobic exercise and then asked to identify the names of the celebrities and the names of the general public. 'Remember the' test and visualized the brain activity under test by fMRI .
As a result of the experiment, in the post-exercise test for 30 minutes, it was found that memory related areas such as the middle frontal gyrus , the inferior temporal gyrus , the medial temporal gyrus , the fusiform gyrus , and the hippocampus are activated. A shows the image of the brain at the time of exercise, and it shows that the orange part is activated. There is almost no activated part of B at rest. It is the hippocampus that is colored in C, and the bar graph on the right side of the image shows that the activity rate increases during exercise. The results of the name identification test did not differ between exercise and rest.

Research on movement and brain functions are conducted in various countries around the world, and in 2017 the collaborative research team of Hideaki Seiya of the University of Tsukuba has published a research that 'memory recovers even in a short time light exercise' .

However, this type of research being conducted around the world is mostly based on the 'memories' of 'remembering the content learned on the spot'. This research focuses on the ability to 'remember' general sense, such as ' mean memory ,' 'common oranges are oranges,' and historical facts, and the work of the brain. The loss of ability to remember is one of the problems that plagues the elderly.
A research team at the University of Maryland has reported that repeated exercise can induce memory-related neurogenesis and enhance the ability to remember.
