Would exercising make me smarter?

It will have lots of secondary benefits that will make learning easier.

>>9084468
it will make you live longer (cardio, that is)

>>9084468
Yes, also pretend the various mental faculties (visual, mathematical, memorizing, language and 'stomping' etc) are muscle groups. The ones you train you'll improve.

>>9084468
Yep.

it depends on the exercising. you could get CTE which would make you stupider and violent and give you early Alzheimer's

You only have limited productive thinking per day. It also helps maintain IQ when you age.

No. Exercise only promotes good overall health. Exercise does not give you information or teach you any skills.

>>9086464
Didn't you hear? The NFL ended their partnership with the NIH because they didn't like the findings. CTE must not be real!

No it wont. Exercise is merely correlated with longevity, not causative.

Cardiovascular exercise stimulates neurogenesis and BDNF production*, and the act of exercise itself allows an individual to breakthrough psycho-motor barriers and achieve greater control over their "meat-vehicle".

*essentially, the interconnected grid that comprises your brain becomes more densely interconnected and efficient at conducting the chemical reactions necessary to function. A speeding up if you will. A compounding buildup of momentum and the catalysis of thought and perception of both the patterns of past experiences and situational awareness of the present moment.

Energy, improved mental health, less depression more optimism

Personally, I believe it does help me learning and understanding things.

I have noticed that if I exercise regularly I'm more clear-minded. Right after the workout I am of course tired and I won't do any studying anymore.

The motto of my University's sports club "ASVZ" is "For Brain, Body and Soul"

Higher metabolism can shorten lifespan. Shrews have the fastest metabolism in mammals (they will die if they don't eat every few hours) and live only 14 months.

Exercises will make you more /fit/

cardio will
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2785721/

As long as it's cardio, yes.

Muscleheads avoid it like the plague for a reason.

Who is /sci/fit/ over here?

>>9086528
Moderate exercise has been repeatedly shown to make you healthier. It reduces most causes of mortality, and cardiovascular disease is what kills most people in developed nations. Exercise has also been shown to improve the symptoms of depression, and a lot of other health conditions.

It won't hurt OP to exercise.

>>9087235
Fuck. I'm on the wrong side of /fit/ness, should switch to cardio exercises from now on. No wonder muscleheads are so fucking stupid.

Relax, it's just a meme. Weightlifters need to keep their heart and lungs at a decent level if not at the level of track and field athletes. I would say half a mile in 5 minutes is a good bare minimum target.

>>9086528
>Merely correlated
Nope, there have been multiple RCTs which demonstrate a causal links of exercise to many beneficial things such as immune system function, reduced risk of diabetes, reduced risk of heart disease, and all-cause mortality.
Here are some studies:

I literally blame my physical fitness for my mental well-being. Being bodily healthy puts a lot of mental orders into perspective that one may refuse to see unless one has experienced bodily health for themselves.

Why would anyone trust /fit/ness brainlets?

>>9089089
You're not exercising enough, you probably ran like 1km and decided it doesn't work and never did it again.

>>9089090

How much is enough you brainlet?

>>9084468
Yes, but you don't need a strenuous exercise regimen like people seem to think. Walking a couple kilometres is sufficient and if you looked back 80-100 years you'd probably find the majority of your favorite scientists/mathematicians walking about that much per day, but very few of them played sports or did any strenuous activity.
You just need to not be a completely sedentary slug.

It won't make you smarter because Intelligence & Fitness are fucking UNRELATED.

Not him but consistent mild exertion cardio (say 3x a week, start with C25k). If you want aesthetics lifting is nice (having muscles is good for everyday life too anon).

I've been doing cardio for a couple of years now and I feel a lot better in general. Started lifting last week, besides DOMS (which should subside as I get used to it) it was fun.

Really, there is no reason not to do it, spending 3-5hours per week (probably a lot less when beginning) for overall health is good time spent. Sure, if you can study 24/7 without getting tired go ahead, but most people have an hour or two of time spent on 4chan/mindless entertainment.

> assuming there is nothing between sedentary fuck and olympic athlete
They exert their bodies to the max for performance, that's not what we are talking about, mild exercise has been show to help with a lot of health issues/aging.
> if it works for geniuses it certainly will for me
Besides not knowing their routine you are ignoring the fact that most of 4chan has at least a bit of depression/other forms of mental heath issues and exercising definitely helps a lot of people with it.

We are not talking about becoming chad here, even cardio has a lot of benefits (which you wouldn't notice in the physicial appearance of most people, how many shirt/pantless scientists have you seen??)

Lifting (and very intensive cardio) makes me so fucking tired. I really don't know how (if there is any) people can have an elite academic life and by jacked

Just exercising? Maybe
Exercising smartly yes. When I use the elliptical I have a book in front of me that I read. Doing other exercises, I think about problems and find ways to problem until I start maxing

I like doing cardio.

It gives my mind time to "zone-out" and get some rest.

It also helps my body adapt to absorb more oxygen, which is delivered to the brain.
