"The Surprising Factors That Impact Professional Success and Mental Health"
A review of 109 studies involving over 11,000 participants by Dr. Daniel Sanabria Lucena, a professor at the University of Granada, found that there is no definitive evidence to support the claim that physical activity has a positive effect on brain performance. Sanabria's team discovered various problems with the studies' methodologies, leading them to conclude that the evidence for the supposed cognitive benefits of exercise is far from conclusive. Sanabria emphasizes the need for more science education and understanding of how science works, and warns against overlooking contextual factors in interpreting results.
