In this episode, we talk with Dr. Charles Hillman, a professor in the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University, in Boston (USA). Dr. Hillman has devoted most of his research career to study how physical activity affects different aspects of cognition and brain health in children. In this episode we talk, among many other things, about the importance of physical activity for the developing brain and how exercise impacts academic performance in the youth. We also discuss how where we exercise can influence the benefits that exercise has on cognition and the role of technology in the promotion of physical activity. You can follow Dr. Hillman's research on twitter at @CBHLab.
