The more physically active you are the better your brain works. 09:26 - May 18 with 1019 views

Increased physical activity strengthens and improves the heart, reduces fat and cholesterol, speeds up metabolism - all of which improves the supply of blood and nutrients to the brain.

Physical activity seems to have an even more direct effect on the brain, by increasing the output of brain derived neurotrophic factor - a protein that stimulates growth and production of new brain cells. This could explain the many reported neurological benefits of physical activity, such as enhancing learning ability and memory, increased hippocampal volume and higher levels of grey matter throughout the brain.

So why are most footballers thickos?

I suspect the effect is relative to the optimal capacity of any given brain, but good spot!

The answer is in the text you posted; the BETTER the brain WORKS does not make any claims about intelligence.

There was some article years ago about how David Beckham was sub-consciously performing all sorts of mathematical equations when he delivered a cross; speed, height, trajectory etc.

If you've ever played against pro/semi-pro players they certainly think their football quicker.

It annoys me that people say footballers are thick when Stephen Hawking was such a bad player.

Thats not true.

He could talk a good game, very articulate, and a great dribbler.
