Sports and Physical workouts play a vital role in Memory Development

The late renowned American author, Arien Specter, wisely said, “There’s nothing more important than our good health—that’s our principal capital asset.” This rings true today; the stronger you are, the better you feel. Strength must be both physical and mental.

It’s accurate to say that a healthy lifestyle benefits not just physical health but also mental well-being. Good health is always a valued asset. The recent pandemic has highlighted just how crucial maintaining good health is. It’s not only adults who need to focus on their health—children also require it for their academic success. Engaging in sports and physical workouts plays a significant role in developing a child’s mind and mental growth. Regular physical activity boosts self-esteem, confidence, and helps manage stress and anxiety.

When children are physically inactive, they risk becoming overweight and obese, leading to various health issues. Over the past 15-20 years, there has been a notable increase in childhood obesity, largely due to lack of exercise and poor eating habits, such as consuming junk food. Establishing discipline through physical activities from an early age can help mitigate the health risks associated with obesity.

Here are six reasons why sports and physical activities can enhance memory power:

1. Physical workouts help reduce anxiety and maintain a positive mental state.
2. Regular involvement in sports promotes sound sleep, which aids in studying, memory retention, and overall cognitive development.
3. Engaging in physical activities can improve emotional balance and control, leading to better academic performance.
4. Research shows that active students tend to be happier and have better memory retention compared to those who are sedentary.
5. Just 20 to 25 minutes of brisk walking on a treadmill has been shown to improve reading comprehension in young children.
6. Children with neurodevelopmental issues, such as ADHD, can benefit from increased physical activity, which helps them learn more effectively.

Additionally, practices like pranayama and meditation can further enhance mental focus and concentration.

Older children, particularly those over 5-6 years old, can gain significant health benefits from engaging in more intense physical activities. Activities like running, swimming, skipping, and cycling are especially beneficial.
