It's a dream that come true for those who hate studying. Simply walking silently for half an hour three times a week can improve abilities such as learing,concentration and abstract reasoning by 15 per cent.The effects are particularly noticeable in older people.Senior citizens who walk regularly perform better on memory tests than their sedentary peers .What's more over several years their scores on a variety of cognitive tests show far less deline than those of non-walkers.Every extra mile a week has measurable benefits.

    It's not only oldies who benefit,however.Angela Balding from the University of Exeter,UK has found that schoolchildren who exercise three or four times a week get higher than average exam grades at age 10 or 11.The effect is strongest in boys,and while Balding admits that the link may not be causal,she suggests that physical exercise may boost mental powers by getting extra oxygen to your brain.

参考译文

 

    对于讨厌学习的人来说，他们的美梦成真了。每周只要静静散步三次，每次半小时就能提高人的学习能力、注意力和抽象推理能力，提高幅度达15%。对老年人来说，效果尤为明显。与久坐不动的同龄人相比，经常散步的老年人在记忆力测试中的表现更佳。此外，持续几年之后，他们在各种认知测试中的分数下降的程度要远远低于不散步的人。每周没多走一英里都会有明显的好处。

    然后，散步不仅对老年人有好处。英国的埃克塞特大学的安吉拉.鲍尔丁发现，在10岁和11岁的小学生中，每周鲍尔丁承认这种关联不是如此简单的因果关系，但她认为身体锻炼会为大脑额外输入氧气，从而有助于提高智力。
