Westborough – Crossfit Prototype recently raised over $900 to benefit Autism Alliance of MetroWest as it kicked off its new program, Ignite! Prototype Academy.
The philosophy behind Ignite! is that exercise can help optimize the emotional, physiological, behavioral, and hormonal benefits of purposeful movement. It is a brain-based program that works on cognitive enrichment through exercise. Movement has been shown to improve brain chemistry and develop many foundational skills essential to learning. The Ignite! protocol increases blood flow to the brain, triggers certain chemicals associated with memory and retention and holds the students interest throughout the cognitive tasks.
