A short conversational transcript (Mihail Pautov and another speaker) discussing the relationship between physical exercise and cognitive function. The other speaker describes the concept of 'cognitive velocity'—the speed of thinking—which may be maintained or improved through physical training (e.g., sprinting); Mihail offers an anecdote that gym workouts make his thinking smoother and generate new ideas.

Do you mean that if I go to the gym often and I do a lot of exercises and I exercise my muscle, I'm going to be smarter or.
I can't say for sure about iq. But what I can say is that you'll maintain your cognition and if not, improve the speed of your thinking. There is something that is called cognitive velocity. A colleague of mine, Dr. Andrew Hubern, has been discussing this. And cognitive velocity is this idea of how quickly you think, and there's a relationship with how quickly you train your body, for example, sprinting. With the improvement of this ability to think faster.
I can say that anecdotally, when I go to the gym and I exercise, the process of thinking is smoother. I can feel that I can think better, and I get new ideas. And that goes hand in hand with with what you just said, that developing good muscles can improve your cognition.
