A group of participants to do physical exercises as a 50-minute walk three times a week, and another group refrain from physical activity. As a result, after six months, the participants in the study tests that have shown their ability to learn. Those participants that regular exercise, performance memory and concentration were carried out, were significantly higher. Scientists have made the first study that examined the relationship between exercise and age-related changes in memory. Positive results will be held after 6 months of exercise for at least 12 months, even though the study participants make walking stopped, scientists reported. According to experts in the world with dementia live about 37 million people, so the results of this work is very important because we now know that such a simple way of exercise could slow down the process of a terrible disease.
