Health-improving run

According to German researches from Ulm University, jogging helps us to be concentrated and improves our visual memory.

They took 30 volunteers and set them a task: they had to run 30 minutes twice a week, after that did different difficult tests, which included answering the questions, the descriptions of things and analysis of words and images.

When they became the first test results, researchers divided volunteers into two groups: one continued run during 6 months, the other group only made tests.

There were not a lot of differences between these two groups. But result was obvious: runners made many fewer mistakes. Researches suppose, that running volunteers had high attention focusing, they remembered information much better.

For the present moment researches can not say exactly what is a reason. But psychologist Sanna Stroth suggested her own theory. In her opinion, physical activity, such as jogging, promotes new hippocampal cells and protects already existent.
