A meta-analysis comparing athletes to non-athletes found that athletes consistently outperformed in working memory tasks, with the advantage most notable over sedentary individuals. The study highlighted that sports participation, regardless of type or level, is linked to enhanced cognitive function, while a sedentary lifestyle correlates with poorer memory. The research adds to growing evidence that physical activity supports brain health and cognitive aging.
