The Challenge: One in three kids in the United States is overweight or obese. Obesity can have serious ramifications for kids' cognitive development and affect school attendance.
Make an impact: Because children spend so much time at school, schools have a unique opportunity to help children become more healthy and active. Policies that support daily physical education and regular activity breaks during the school day can help increase physical activity, improve academic performance and improve classroom behavior among students.
What the findings are about: This research brief reviews evidence that examines how physical activity and fitness may help school-aged children maximize their academic performance, and provides an overview of the effects of physical activity on the developing brain.
This Research Brief updates prior evidence on the role of physical activity in academic performance: Active Education: Physical Education, Physical Activity and Academic Performance
