乒乓是最佳大脑运动-<SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: #8cc63f; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Daniel Amen, 美国著名脑科学家，加大教授。</SPAN><BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: #676767; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">My favorite physical activity is table tennis, which also happens to be the world's best brain sport. It is highly aerobic and gets both the upper and lower body moving in every which way — twisting, bending down low, reaching up high, and shuffling from side to side. Plus, it gives your brain one heckuva workout. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: #676767; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Also known as "ping-pong," the game is great for hand-eye coordination and reflexes (cerebellum and parietal lobes). You have to focus (prefrontal cortex) so you can track the ball through space (parietal lobes and occipital lobes), figure out spins (parietal lobes and occipital lobes), and plan shots and strategies (prefrontal cortex and cerebellum). Then you have to follow through and execute those tactics successfully (prefrontal cortex and cerebellum). All the while, you have to stay calm so you don't get too nervous on game point (basal ganglia). And you can't dwell on that point you blew a few minutes ago (anterior cingulated gyrus) or blow your top when you make a mistake (temporal lobes). It is like aerobic chess.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: #676767; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">One of the things I love best about table tennis is that it involves very few brain injuries. In 1999, I played in the U.S. National Table Tennis Tournament with hundreds of other players, and there wasn't a single brain injury. A fascinating brain imaging study from Japan found that table tennis helps balance your brain. The researchers examined a group of people before and after playing table tennis for a period of ten minutes. The "after" images revealed increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, the thoughtful part of your brain, and the cerebellum.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: #676767; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Another reason why I'm such a fan of table tennis is because it is a sport the whole family can play. I was lucky enough to have a ping-pong table in my backyard when I was growing up, and I played a lot as a child with my siblings and my parents. My mother was a fierce competitor with lightning-fast reflexes, and she usually reigned as queen of the court. I always had such a great time playing that I never realized that I was "exercising" or improving my brain function. It was just fun.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
