Hi Idelle,
Yes, even some of the old lab studies with the "couch potato" versus exercising rats are still exciting to think about. The active animals lost weight, were more agile, and the benefit in terms of their neuronal connections was astounding!!

Thanks much for posting the piece on adolescents and exercise. And now with all the PE classes being cut due to budget problems- not very good long-term planning for our youth.
