Benefits of a Physically Active Child1
• Student test scores improve after engaging in physical activity
• Students who are physically active are more likely to perform well in school than their sedentary peers
• Studies show an increase in academic achievement when additional time is provided for physical activity, even when time is removed from academic instruction

• Although research has repeatedly shown that increased physical activity supports improved academic performance, schools all across the United States have been limiting physical activities during school.
An Under-utilized, Effective Tool
