Research has demonstrated the profound link between physical activity and creative
thinking through several key neurological mechanisms: aerobic exercise stimulates neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a brain region critical for creative thinking and cognitive flexibility. Physical activity promotes neural plasticity and enhances cognitive processing associated with creative problem-solving.
A comprehensive study in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology (2019)
found that organisations with robust employee wellness programs demonstrated:
35% greater adaptability during economic uncertainties.
Faster recovery from workplace disruptions
More flexible strategic responses to market changes.
The American Journal of Health Promotion reported that physically active
employees demonstrate 15-20% higher productivity, reduce presenteeism (working while unwell) by up to 27% & generate more consistent work output
