Aerobic activity greatly increases a person’s bloodoxygen supply. Benefits extend to each part and tissue in the body, including the brain. Brain cells begin to die within about five minutes, without oxygen. She constantly complained about feeling confused, as she neared the end. Inadequate supply of oxygen brings incoherent thoughts, dizziness, and fainting. Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Physically unconditioned students have a low academic aptitude and have difficulty learning, due in part to reduced memory power. Certainly, his mind is far from working at the peak performance that I know it’s capable of, an unconditioned person. Won’t experience identical dizziness and incoherency as someone with chronic emphysema. There’re many exceptions to this rule. Even a slight increase in the oxygen level produces a noticeable improvement. Concentration is more easily focused. So, supply the brain works a great deal more efficiently, with an enriched oxygen. Besides, regular aerobic activity will tend to optimize the brain’s oxygen supply. Mind is clearer and more alert.
Regular aerobic activity can also dramatically affect a person’s character and ‘self discipline’. In military academies similar to West Point it as long as they are not able to absorb the training and discipline of military life. Now this has a positive effect on a person’s mind set toward every goal set before him. Over time, the effects of regular aerobic activity produce a very conspicuous improvement in a person’s ‘self image’ and anticipation of self worth. Kenneth Cooper, the Air Force doctor who wrote the manual on aerobic activity for the Air Force and Navy, noted dramatic transformations in the disposition of the cadets. In military establishments like West Point, where discipline and fitness are a must, it better athletes are usually also top-notch students and become top officers.
