STUDY: ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IMPROVED WITH EXERCISE DURING LESSONS


A Dutch study suggests that children can learn better if they exercise during their lessons.

Researchers found that children who followed an activity-enhanced curriculum designed for the study scored better on tests in Math and Spelling than children who followed a routine curriculum.

The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, indicated that the second- and third-grade students with the exercise-attached lessons scored at a level four months more advanced than the other students.
