The Effect of Physical Activity and Age on Memory

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.

Hypotheses

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?

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
