THE IMPLICATIONS OF SPORT IN THE EVOLUTION OF CEREBRAL ACTIVITY IN THE CASE OF ARTISTS

Summary/Abstract: The neuroscientific benefits of sports on brain activity involve blood flow and brain oxygenation, resulting into an improved capacity of concentration and cognitive flexibility. The effects of sports on the hormones associated with stress are well known, and in the case of artists, this aspect have a particular importance, because of its anxiogenic effect that can inhibit creativity, causing blockages in the artists' activity. But, beyond another consideration, it can be said that sports who increase endurance as well as those that require motor coordination and balance are directly involved in stimulating divergent thinking, involved in artistic creativity, because this process can generate new, original ideas, an essential aspect in the artistic field.
