Default ways of which exercise affects the brain

I have wrote about regular physical activities and excercise but I need to link it to the brain and mental health and write about hormones that are produced. I am struggling with what to write and keep getting muddled up.

These activities are used good for physical development at our preschool indoors stairs, wooden large bricks to climb and balance on, moving to music, balls to roll, soft play to climb on and move about on. Sit and ride toy which changes into a walker. Outside slides, logs to climb and balance on, trikes and balance bikes, tractor wheels to climb and use to pull on, balls to roll.
