Going for a RUN after cramming could help you remember more information

In the run-up to important exams, you can find yourself worrying that all the information you've crammed in might not stay in your memory. But it appears that the answer to retaining information may lie away from the books. New research has shown that going for a run can improve the chances of remembering information in exams. In the study, the researchers asked 60 men aged 16-29 to memorize a range of information, from learning a route on a city map to memorizing German-Turkish word pairs. They were then split into three groups: one group played a violent computer game, one went for a run and one spent time outside.
