If you think of your body as a support system for your brain...
...this should come as no surprise. If your support system is going to heck, why would anyone expect their mind to not follow?

Alternatively, using your body also forces your brain to act and react repeatedly merely to maintain things like balance and direction...and in any case, even merely adding Oxygen to a person's system usually boosts their ability to think, in particular in people who are less fit, simply because running along at minimal energy and thought expenditure requires minimal Oxygen and most people reduce their oxygenation level when sedentary.
As with any known life form, those abilities which are used on a regular basis generally stay at a higher level of function than those abilities which sit idle...organisms are very good at rerouting resources to avoid unused areas in favor of ares which get used.
As an example, a week of bed rest removes a huge amount of muscle tone, and even a relatively short period in weightlessness reduces bone strength.
