Depends on the exercise, but weight lifting has that reputation for a reason. Just check out what counts as "arguments" or "points" on this board and you will come to the conclusion that either weight lifting makes you stupid, or only stupid people are drawn to weight lifting.

Otoh, you never hear about, say, gymnasts, fencers or skiers being exceptionally stupid. And there is a reason for that. Not even boxers with their brain damage job description are seen like weight lifters are.';

Kidney's regulate antioxidant production by intaking blood and releasing enzymes to combat free radicals. Anything that increases cardio efficiency increases kidney function.

>Lifting cognition: a meta-analysis of effects of resistance exercise on cognition
>Jon-Frederick Landrigan et al. Psychol Res. 2020 Jul.
>The health benefits of resistance exercises are well established; however, the effects of resistance training on cognition are not as well understood. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the evidence of resistance exercise's effects on cognition. A systematic search identified 24 studies that were included in the analyses. These articles ranged in the protocols utilized and in how they studied the effects of resistance training on cognition. Four primary analyses were carried out to assess the effects of resistance exercise on cognitive outcomes: (1) composite cognitive scores, (2) screening measures of cognitive impairment, (3) measures of executive functions, and (4) measures of working memory. Results revealed positive effects of resistance training on composite cognitive scores (SMD 0.71, 95% CI 0.30-1.12), screening measures of cognitive impairment (SMD 1.28, 95% CI 0.39-2.18), and executive functions (SMD 0.39, 95% CI 0.04-0.74), but no effect on measures of working memory (SMD 0.151, 95% CI - 0.21 to 0.51).';

Prove me wrong.

Stop all activity entirely.
For the next five years I want you to not walk, not run, not swim, not hike, not lift, use a treadmill, not use a stairmaster, not do anything that could even mimic cardiovascular exercise.

Imagine outting yourself as a brainlet. By training your body you get it used to stress and teach it to manage and mitigate it. It's like saying the way to prevent a heart attack at 60 while shoveling snow is to never do cardio your whole life because you'll die at 60 from exertion. What a retard you must be. You actively avoid training your body to handle stress, and then are surprised that the slightest cortisol spike turns you into a sobbing mess. Unironically man-up, pussy.';

But you don't need studies to know that gravity exists. We know mechanisms exactly how it works:
-better cardiovascular health and brain supply
-during strength training your body produces hormones that activate the formation of neural networks, neurons get more connections
-most of your brain activity is related to the control of movements. You lose what you don't use. That sums up OP claim regarding stress. It's like asking how come exercising makes you stronger, when it's extra stress on muscless... OP is an absolute retard.';
