It is the case that boys who are fitter, appear to have higher intelligence scores. However, this is because their cardiovascular health also appears to be better. Better fitness improves cognition which also influences brain plasticity. Because of this, boys are encouraged to stay active especially between the ages of 15 and 18 when their body is changing. Healthy cardiovascular function seems to have an enormous impact on brain function. Some experiments have been conducted between identical twins, and there seems to be a strong correlation between a healthy heart and intelligence.
