While listening to all of the presentations last week it was very obvious that exercise and fitness are very important to many members of our class. As we all know there are the obvious benefits of exercise, like bodily changes and health status but I was interested in what other positive things may come out of exercise among college age students. I found an article form the American Continental University that addresses this issue in a very straightforward way. Two key positive features of exercise on the college student are stress relief and improved mood. Exercise gives students an escape from everything that is going on in the world of college. Other benefits of exercise to college students include stimulation of brain cell development, improved memory retention, and increased focus and concentration. All of these attributes are extremely helpful to students in the classroom and can even lead to exercise improving results in the classroom. This is simply amazing, exercise is not only great for the body of a college student and will keep them healthy for years to come but will also allow them learn more and improve their scholastic performance. College student as a whole need to be made aware of these benefits to physical exercise on their entire well-being and academic performance and maybe more of us will make time in our day for a trip to the gym.
