Exercise can benefit chronic fatigue, study finds!!!

As reported b y the Journal of Health Psychology , research conducted at Auckland University has found that 68% per cent of patients suffering from chronic fatigue rated regular exercise better or much better than any other treatment they had received to date. Chronic fatigue affects about one per cent of the population and is characterised by debilitating fatigues, headaches, sleep disturbance and muscle pain. Monitoring 49 participants, the study divided the volunteers into two groups for a 12week period. Ha lf were put through an exercise program and had standard medical care, while the other half received just standard m edical care. Rona moss-Morris, who is a health psychologist and the principal in vestigator of the study says, '68 per cent of the exercise patients in the study rated their 12-week treatment as better or much better than any other treatment they had received to date.'

Physically fit children appear to do better in the classroom

Latest research conducted at the University of Illinois have found a strong relationship between academic achievement and fitness scores. The study demonstrates that exercise may also improve cognitive functioning in older adults. We have found a strong relationship between academic achievement and fitness scores, said Darla Castelli, a professor of kinesiology whose area of expertise is effective physical education practices. Those who scored well in academics also did well in physical fitness. We're not suggesting that if we run more laps it will make us smarter, but there does appear to be a correlation.

Castelli noted that teachers who work closely with young and pre-adolescent children have long suspected a link between physical fitness and cognitive function. Anecdotal evidence is plentiful, she said, but empirical data to back those assumptions have been harder to come by. Working with the cooperation of physical education teachers, the researchers measured the physical fitness of some 500 third, fourth and fifthgraders. They measured subjects' aerobic capacity, flexibility and muscle fitness. Cognitive function was determined by analysing scores on standardised academic performance tests and by observing and measuring Neuro electric and behavioural responses to stimulus discrimination tasks.

We looked at the relationship between age and fitness from both a Neuro electric and behavioural perspective, Hillman said. Behaviourally, these effects showed up in that these fit children made fewer errors than sedentary ones, Hillman said. In terms of response speed, the fit children were still slower than fit and sedentary adults,
but were faster than sedentary children, he said. Hillman - who stressed the preliminary nature of their findings - said the research team is analysing data for three related studies and plans to present a symposium on their findings next spring. There's a lot of basic research that needs to go on before we can determine what underlies achievement, Hillman said.
