Running may give the brain a workout（注：〔口〕运动的练习；训练。）,too.A new study finds that individuals consistently scored higher on intellectual tests after ★ embarking on （注：embark on/upon从事；开始。）a running program.
[2]"These improvements,however,went down when the joggers stopped their training,which suggests that ongoing exercise is required to maintain the benefit,"said study lead author Dr.Kisou Kubota of Nihon Fukushi University in Handa,Japan.
[3]Recent studies have suggested that exercise benefits both brawn and brain.Researchers at Duke University in Durham,North Carolina,reported earlier this year that seniors who embarked on a 4-month exercise program showed significant improvement in memory and other mental skills,also known as cognitive function.Other studies have shown that regular workouts can help fight depression,as well.
[4]In their study,Kubota's team had seven healthy young people initiate a jogging regimen consisting of running for 30 minutes,two to three times a week for at least 12 weeks.Each of the runners also took a series of complex computer-based tests,to compare memory skills before and after the 3-month jogging program.
[5]After 12 weeks of jogging,scores on all of the tests"significantly increased"in the runners,as did their reaction times in completing the tests.The researchers point out that the study participants were given no time to practice the various tests between each evaluation.
[6]"These tests showed that joggers had a clear improvement in prefrontal（注：前额的；额叶前部的。）function,"Kubota said,adding that scores began to fall again if participants stopped their running routine.
[7]Exactly how exercise might strengthen mental sharpness is unclear,but previous research suggests that maintaining a healthy flow of blood and oxygen protects the brain.The Japanese researchers note that oxygen intake rose along with.
[8]The findings could have implications for the elderly,as well.In a Society for Neuroscience（注：
研究神经系统的科学。）statement,Kubota said the research may someday help doctors "find a way to use exercise and running to help aged people and those with ★ Alzheimer's diseases（注：阿耳茨海默氏病，又称早老性痴呆。）"improve their cognitive function.
跑步可以使大脑得到锻炼。一项新的研究发现，在开始实施一项跑步计划后，每个测试者都能在测试智力时持续获得较高的分数。
[2]位于日本半田的日本福祉大学的久保田吉相博士是此项研究的主要发起人。他说：“当慢跑者停止慢跑锻炼后，提高了的智力水平又会降下来。这表明，要保持身体从中受益，就需要坚持慢跑锻炼。”
[3]最近的研究已经表明，慢跑锻炼对增强人的体力和脑力都有好处。位于美国北卡罗莱纳州达勒姆的杜克大学的研究人员在今年年初报道说，凡参与了一项为期4个月的锻炼计划的老年人，他们的记忆力和其他智力技能—也可称认知功能—都有明显的改善。还有其他研究表明，有规律的体育锻炼还可帮助治疗抑郁症。
[4]在他们的研究中，久保田科研小组让7个健康的年轻人开始进行一项慢跑的强化训练。训练内容为：每周慢跑2～3次，每次30分钟，至少坚持12周。每个测试者还要接受一系列利用计算机进行的复杂测试，以便对其在3个月慢跑计划前后的记忆能力进行比较。
[5]在完成12周的慢跑计划后，慢跑者在所有测试中的得分都有“明显增长”，他们完成测试所需的时间也大大缩短。研究人员指出，在每次评估之间，没有给测试者时间去练习各种各样的测试。
[6]久保田说：“这些测试表明，慢跑者大脑额叶前部的功能有明显改善。”他还补充说，当测试者停止了日常的慢跑计划，他们的智力测试得分又会降下来。
[7]现在还不能准确地解释体育锻炼怎么会使头脑敏锐度提高，但以前的研究认为，维持旺盛的血流和氧气能保护大脑。一些日本研究人员注意到，慢跑者的氧吸入量与其智力测试成绩成正比。
[8]研究结果对老年人也有意义。在一篇由神经科学协会发表的文章中，久保田说，有朝一日，这项研究也许会帮助医生“找到一种治疗方法，通过体育锻炼和跑步来帮助老年人和患有阿耳茨海默氏病的人”改善他们的认知功能。
