Abstract: Abstract With your mind in the best shape it can be, what about your body? Exercise is good for you, this much is inarguable. The link between increased fitness and a reduction in likelihood of a number of physiological conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity is now accepted (Lundberg and Cooper 2010). For some time, there has been a feeling that there are positive benefits in a psychological sense too, but there is less research available to back this up to date.
