Healthier children are better students. Here is a closer look at what research says about exercise and how it can impact your students and school:
1)Aerobic exercise improves function in the brain's frontal, temporal and parietal cortexes – areas vital for high order thinking.
2)Students who are physically active have been shown to have higher test scores in math, reading and writing, as well as a reduction in disruptive behaviors in the classroom.
3)Physically active students have also been shown to have greater creativity, higher levels of concentration and a better overall attitude towards school.
