The new app utilising the power of exercise to boost brainpower for better academic performance and well-being.
A first-of-its-kind product that takes advantage of the well-published links between physical activity and increased brain performance.
Did you know that exercise can improve your ability to learn?
Most people understand the health benefits of physical activity, but new research shows there is also a direct correlation to brain performance.
Regular engagement with exercise is proven to increase memory and thinking skills. Even a 20-minute spell of exercise can have an immediate effect on cognitive ability, lighting up the brain’s memory function.
Pairing this with the stress-relieving benefits of exercise creates a perfect tool to aid students along their academic journey.
