[quote=Anonymous]https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/opinion/exercise-and-academic-performance.html?_r=0 [QUOTE] Students who exercise have lower body fat, greater muscular strength, and better cardiovascular and mental health. While admitting that the studies are limited, a panel of experts assembled by the institute says that “a growing body of evidence” suggests [b]children who are more active are better able to focus their attention, are quicker to perform simple tasks, and have better working memories and problem solving skills than less-active children. They also perform better on standardized academic tests.[/b] Academic performance is influenced by factors like parental involvement and socioeconomic status, but the panel reported that [b]active children tended to have stronger performance, especially in reading and mathematics[/b]. It believes that the benefits of exercise during the school day outweigh the benefits from increasing class time.[/QUOTE][/quote]
