The Effects of Exercise on Mental Cognition

Abstract

Like many other Kinesiology experiments, the relationship between exercise and mental clarity has been researched in many different settings. However, few researches have been conducted on determining a specific type of exercise, anaerobic or aerobic exercises, that shows the best positive increase on mental clarity. This series of manuscripts dives into the ins and outs of exercise as it relates to mental clarity to best narrow down exercises that show the most improvements. Three manuscripts are written on different subjects that all relate to each other in an overarching theme, mental clarity. These manuscripts were broken down to reveal the most important aspects of each type of exercise, anaerobic and aerobic exercise, while also linking the direct effect of exercise on mental clarity. The types of exercises were measured using their biological effects on the brain and the body. Further research was done in the exercise and mental clarity abstract to determine the correlation between the biological effects on the brain and mental improvement in certain brain areas. These manuscripts support the feasibility to conduct further research in this field and what important areas to focus on. Because there is substantial research supporting the theory that exercise improves mental clarity, new topics such as specific exercises is important to discover. This new research can shed a new light on ways to improve mental clarity for children and adults of all ages.
