Canadian researchers argue that the regular execution of this particular set of exercises a beneficial effect on memory. To such conclusion experts of the University of Vancouver came after six months of observations of a group of women aged 70 to 80 years.
In the experiment, the scientists took part and ninety of the fairer sex. Each of them for six months, performed exercise on one of the three offered the choice of programs. One technique is focusing on stretching, the second (power) - endurance, third (aerobic) - to maintain in a tone the core muscles of the body. Classes are held twice a week, each of which lasted for three hours.
Before the start of training every week for six months for women made MRI brain. Researchers wondered whether exercise influence its activity.
Assumptions scientists confirmed - exercise, indeed, turned out to be useful for "gray matter." In the experiment the participants engaged aerobics Increased hippocampus - a brain region responsible for memory. In the other groups (performing load power and flexibility exercises) no change.

"Our study shows that aerobic is useful for the brain than any other type of training, therefore we recommend people experiencing memory problems, to deal with this fitness discipline on a regular basis," - said the scientist.
According to Canadian experts, aerobics and useful as a prophylactic the aging brain . To maximize the delay age-related changes, you need to train with the youth. (READ MORE)
