PHYSICAL EXERCISE, LEARNING, COGNITIONAbstract
Physical exercise are known as a great method of improving physical and mental health. Many studies show that individuals who engage in physical exercise have a lower risk of developing certain types of illness such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease (Stewart et al. 2005; Hardman and Stensel, 2009). Besides the physical benefits to the body, physical exercises can improve mood, cognition, and memory. Studies show that individuals—especially older adults—who engage in physical exercise have improved learning abilities. Learning is a critical aspect of one’s life; it can promote not only knowledge but also life quality (Jamieson, 2007). However, for many years, governments and other authorities have been exclusively investing in the learning process of children and adolescent with little consideration to old age learning, a matter to be discussed in this study.
