A correlation has been found between physical fitness and the brain in children. Those who are more fit tend to have a bigger hippocampus and perform better on tests of memory. This was the first test known to compare the differences in the brain between kids who are fit and those who are not. The hippocampus is tucked deep in the brain and is important in memory and learning. Exercise increases the size of the hippocampus. A bigger hippocampus means the growth of new neurons and more cells surviving. Physical activity positively affects brain development as well. This is something that we all have control over and what better way to get active than to come have a blast at Crossfit New Albany Kids!
