To arrive at their results, researchers from the Austrian University of Graz subjected about 80 healthy adults to some fitness and physical activity sessions for five days. They then asked them to complete a series of creative tasks, such as designing and devising new uses for everyday objects, and to complete a series of questionnaires.
“The most active of the volunteers also proved to be the most creative, especially if they walked often or exercised in moderation – say the researchers. Active people also tended to be happy, although their mood was higher if they engaged in relatively vigorous activities, such as jogging or playing sports, rather than moderate activities.“.
Ultimately, the researchers were able to use data analytics to link their exercise patterns and participants’ creative performance and found that those who have practiced the most are much better at finding new, better ideas compared to those who live a sedentary life.
The Graz researchers seem to agree: “In addition to the well-known effects on physical health, a greater degree of daily body movement is associated with higher levels of [positività] (and subjective well-being) and better creative cognition. This study represents a first step to investigate this complex relationship in everyday life“.
