This study explores the relationship between physical activity, age, and memory retention in teenagers and adults. Findings suggest that while teenagers generally exhibit better memory compared to adults, physical activity does not significantly affect memory in either group. The results challenge common assumptions about the impact of physical activity on memory in different age groups.

The Effect of Physical Activity and Age on Memory Princess Ansah
Hypotheses • Research: The teenage participants will have the best memory out of both age groups, physical activity will not affect the teens, but it will affect the adults. • Null: There will be no significant difference of memorization between the different groups and physical activity will have no affect on memory.
Research in today’s society • Many teens tend to do many after school athletics, so do they affect what they learned prior to their physical activity? • Does it affect high school students? • Does it affect working adults?
To measure the results of the total amount of numbers remembered the results concluded their memory: 1-5 numbers= Poor 6-9 numbers= Moderate 10-16= Good
As you can see, the majority of the participants have good memory, this data includes the control groups as well.
Conclusion • My research hypothesis was supported, because it was proven that the teens had a better memory than the adults and the physical activity did not seem to affect memory. • My null hypothesis was also accepted. My p value was higher than .05
