Many parents worry about their children's inattention in class. They have more or less heard that exercise can improve children's concentration. Can exercise really improve children's concentration?
So what is the principle of exercise to improve concentration?
1, the hormones produced by exercise can stabilize the mood.
In the process of exercise, the human body will produce hormones such as dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline, among which dopamine and serotonin will make people feel happy and help stabilize their mood; Adrenaline can enhance memory.
2. Exercise can activate the brain and improve the state of brain hypoxia.
For children, it is in an important period of the development of motor ability and cognitive function, with immature cerebellum-prefrontal lobe development and strong neural plasticity. Cerebellar-prefrontal neural network is closely related to the learning and monitoring of selective attention and movement. Therefore, children's regular physical exercise is helpful to promote the development of cognitive function and improve their attention.
Exercise can really improve concentration, but the hormones produced by the human body during exercise are limited. Secondly, if the development of cerebellum-prefrontal lobe is obviously insufficient, it is difficult to achieve the ideal development state simply through exercise.
Therefore, under certain circumstances, exercise can improve the child's inattention, but if the child is seriously ill, it may be difficult to achieve the ideal state. And it is worth noting that if you want to improve your child's concentration through exercise, it is not that short-term exercise can improve and improve, but that you need continuous and planned aerobic exercise.
Exercise has many benefits. Parents can encourage their children to exercise more and cultivate their interest in sports. However, if the child has obvious attention deficit and the situation is serious, it still needs to be improved through professional training.
