Question

It has been shown that intensive physical training modifies the cerebral cortex, which______________ neuronal networks, and thusgives high-performance athletes greater rapidity, and more precision than anyone else in their particular sport.

a.Constructs more

b.Simplifies

c.None of the above

Answer 1

It has been shown that intensive physical training modifies the cerebral cortex, which constructs more neuronal networks, and thus gives high-performance athletes greater rapidity, and more precision than anyone else in their particular sport.

Answer - a. Constructs more

Intense physical training increases blood flow to the brain which causes a biochemical reaction that increases the activity of neuroplasticity (Construct new connection between neurons).

Which helps in high performance greater rapidity, and more precision.
