Among men with medium fitness, about 4,000 out of 630,000, or 0.62 percent, developed epilepsy. The number of men with low fitness who developed epilepsy was 502 out of about 46,000 men, or 1.09 percent. The results held after considering genetic factors, diabetes, previous incidents of traumatic brain injury and stroke. Positive effects of exercise on the brain have been seen in other areas as well. Previous studies, some in humans and some in animals, have shown that exercise protects the brain against depression and Parkinsons disease, and improves neurogenesis and memory, Ben-Menachem said. “We think fitness does amazing things in the brain,” she said. “It’s easy enough to do, and it’s not a fancy medicine that costs you a lot of money.” Copyright 2013 LiveScience , a TechMediaNetwork company.

Seems to me that’d be pretty unlikely.
