As researchers (and no matter in which field: optics, engineering, physics, mathematics, biology, medicine, biotechnology and etc.), many of us are most of the time dealing with research work, and often forget that there is also a life outside the university. But our efficiency decreases with the time and good ideas are not born.
If we are willing to allocate an hour a day or an hour in a few days for sport, which sport will improve the creativity of our brain in the research?
All sports could be useful. It strongly depends on one's interests and circumstances, but, I think, the sports which play outdoor could be more helpful, especially in fresh and clean air.
I dont really know about it but I think the best one is a really nice cardio workout, like a hard taebo rutine with your favorite music to release all the anxiety.
I would say any kind of sport and excise will benefit our brain function and our health, as long as we participate in.
cricket !......can be played only if u r a smart person....players always play according to the ongoing play conditions. u think and u play....learn and play !
Biathlon orienteering requries both physical fitness, endurance, problemsolving, concentration and calmness. But, I do believe that all types of exercise is beneficial.
Chess, the best ever game from ancient time for brain.........and classical music to relax the brain........ and running for body exercise.........
I think it's totally depends on the person (personalise) because Every one don't like one type of game, The game which you like to play that give relax to you mind may be a pressure to him or her. so any game that you enjoy will be better to increase efficiency and will give good ideas.
But swimming is a best exercise for our body which is beneficial also.
> Which type of the sport exercises...
Hmm... are you talking only about sport exercises?
Maybe Running, swimming or cycling plus our favorite sport may give us more enjoyment and calmness to have better efficiency in research.
Different strokes for different folks, I would say. I play badminton regularly and it has a positive effect not only on my research but also on my life. Sports instill qualities such as discipline, planning and preparation, teamwork, self confidence etc. Overall, it helps to deal with success and failure on equal terms and teaches me to move on in life, come what may.
Go for more frequent vacations, play anything you want which doesn't really involve brain for thinking, forget for a while that you are a researcher, enjoy every single moment and then come back with a fresh mind and start again your research work. Most importantly, you have to enjoy your research work or treat it like a hobby. All the best... :)
'I believe it does not matter what kind of workout you actually do. If youre working out it allows you to think of somethink else letting your brain " rest" for a while. Also, your muscles and body will like any kind of workout since they do not care.
Sport helps me a lot to relax.
All sports.
Mainly those activities that promote oxygenation. I privilege Hiking, Aikido and Chi-Kung.

Dear All,
I think Philipp, Abdur rahim, Humberto and Sara are right. Each of us should choose the sport the most suitable to his/her body, mind and other opportunities (time, local and financial possibilities). What is important to do a kind of sport if possible regularly.
Yoga and Pranayam are very good for the brain. In addition to these, the calisthenics can play a major part in increasing the efficiency of our brain in various sectors like science, language, sport, medicine, business, law, creativity etc.
