“…They suggested that the positive effect of exercise must be associated with the right brain or left hand. Dogar, Dane, Dane, and Tan (2008) reported hearing durations in the left ear but not the right ear were associated with scores on an examination for university entrance in Turkey. They suggested that right brain might be important for students' achievements in science.…”

In an earlier study, relations of nonverbal abilities with several bodily measures such as height, weight, and lung capacity were observed. The present aim was estimation of associations of muscle power and lung function with simple eye-hand reaction time. Sex differences for muscle power were significant even with the covariates of height, weight, and age included; however, these disappeared for lung functions (forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flow) and reaction time. The effects of leg power, forced vital capacity, and peak expiratory flow on the left eye-hand reaction time were significant after adjustment for height, weight, right- and left-hand powers and age. The positive effect of exercise may be especially associated with the right brain activity or left hand speed.
