1. Physical activity improves memory
Now, the part of the brain that's responsible for memory is the hippocampus, and researchers at the University of Illinois found that kids who did sports regularly had 14 percent more hippocamps than their peers who weren't physically active.2. Activity improves your concentration
Movement improves blood flow to the brain, increases concentration and the ability to associate facts -- tests on students in the UK showed that students who exercised for 10 minutes a day did 10% better in science than the passive group.3. It increases your resistance to stress
Exercise increases resistance to stress in both humans and animals. It stimulates the area of the brain that is activated during exercise, relieves anxiety and nervous reactions.4. It adds confidence
Dr. Keith Zullig and Dr. Rebecca White of the University of Southern Virginia found that teenagers who practiced sports were 30 times more likely to evaluate their condition than students who did not exercise.5. Preventing Depression
Modern medical doctor's publications show that adequate doses of physical activity reduce the risk of depression by up to 50%. Exercise brings rapid results even in people who have fallen into this condition. The Medical University of Łódź maintains that the first results are visible after 10 minutes of exercise. After two months there is a noticeable and lasting reduction in symptoms of depression.6. It makes me happy
Physical activity increases the release of endorphins, the happiness hormones, improves well-being within a few minutes, and a satisfying workout can even lead to bursts of euphoria.7. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
An in-depth joint study by researchers from Harvard Medical School, the London School of Economics, and Stanford University Medical School has led to a unanimous and shocking conclusion that physical activity is as effective at improving cardiovascular health as heart medication.8. It adds energy
It would seem that since physical activity absorbs the body's resources, it can't simultaneously add energy to it, while sports stimulate the body and mind, whereas those who don't move very much tend to be sleepy and unmotivated, and regular exercise helps them get up early in the morning.9. It improves the outer appearance
The obvious plus of physical activity is working on your body's appearance -- taking pills, eating a restrictive weight-loss diet, cosmetic treatments, or even surgical procedures are short-term solutions -- they won't provide stiff skin and impressive muscles for a long time -- a beautiful appearance can only be achieved through movement.10. It improves the digestive system
Another benefit of physical activity is that it improves the functioning of the digestive system. Sport speeds up digestion and helps to get rid of the nutrients in the intestines. A healthy metabolism is the basis of well-being.11. It strengthens the bone marrow
The efficiency of joints and bones depends almost entirely on how often they are used - people who live a sedentary lifestyle or are elderly have difficulty performing basic functions such as tilting, lifting their legs, bending their hands, fingers, and even walking on their own.12. It prolongs your life
At the end of the list, the most important benefit of training is that sports prolong life -- not just for professional athletes, but even for people who exercise for 15 minutes a day -- and scientists at a state-run institute in Taiwan have proven that this amount of exercise prolongs life by up to three years.
