How Physical Activity Impact Learning, Behavior & Academics If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong..exercise and recreationare as necessary as reading; I will rather say more necessary, because health is worth more than learning If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong. Thomas Jefferson Active, Healthy & Happy Kids Do Better in School

Does Physical Activity Make A Difference? - ====

Slide 12

Aerobic Activity: Friend of Learning Immediately Following Aerobic Exercise: 1.Memory is sharper: Exercisers learned 20% better 2. Improved on-task behavior during academic instruction The least on-task students improved the most (20%) 3. Reading Comprehension Improves Participants scored a full grade level higher 4. Response Time and Accuracy Improves (Think Jeopardy) Runners were significantly quicker and more accurate 5. Higher Order Thinking is Enhanced (Google Boardroom) Meetings are on treadmills 6. Self Control Improves Disciplinary incidents decrease 7. Improves Mood Exercise has the same effect on the treatment of depression as medication

Slide 13

STRATEGY #6 OF A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM: Use data & research to improve teaching & learning everyday We should expand what works and stop doing what doesnt. The Minnesotas Promise The Minnesotas Promise project began in 2005, when twenty-seven past and present superintendents of schools came together to share strategies and build relationships across rural, urban, and suburban lines. Their Vision: A World-Class Future for Minnesota's Schools

Slide 14

Fitness And Academic Performance Fitness And Academic Performance Active, Healthy & Happy Kids Do Better in School We now have compelling evidence that the physical well-being of students has a direct impact on their ability to achieve academically. We now have the proof weve been looking for: students achieve best when they are physically fit. Delaine Eastin Superintendent of Public Instruction at California Department of Education (CDE)

Slide 15

Higher academic achievement is associated with higher levels of fitness in grade 5, 7, 9. The relationship between academic achievement and fitness in grade 5, 7, 9 was greater in mathematics than in reading, particularly at high fitness levels.

Slide 16

Fit Students Score Higher Significant associations were consistently found between physical fitness &: Academic Performance (TAKS) Higher levels of fitness are associated (TAKS) Higher levels of fitness are associated with better academic performance. with better academic performance. School Attendance Higher levels of fitness are associated with better school attendance. School Incidents Higher levels of fitness are associated with fewer negative school incidents

Daily Physical Education and Physical Activity Changes Fitness, Academics, and Behavior Anthony Elementary in Leavenworth, Kansas Edutopia (Dec/Jan 2006) In 2004 Anthony increased PE and PA from one to five days a week, revamped their school lunch program, and added vitamins to the daily menu. Anthony had three remarkable changes in one year: 1.There was a 1300 % increase in those passing the fitness test 2.They went from 10 th in Reading and 9 th in Math (in a district with 10 elementary schools) to 2 nd in Reading and 1 st in Math 3. Office referrals for discipline were reduced from 438 to 18

Slide 19

Positive correlation between physical activity and 7 categories of cognitive performance Sibley (2003) -perceptual skills, IQ, achievement, verbal test scores, math test scores, developmental level, academic readiness Pediatric Exercise Science Exercise improves the rate of learning Cotman - rate of learning directly correlated to BDNF levels (BDNF produced by exercise) Exercise increases executive function Exercise creates a better response to errors Hillman - Flanker Test results show a positive response to errors made Exercise makes the body more adept in responding to mental challenges - Dienstbier 1989 Exercise reduces stress elevates mood Exercise is like a little Ritalin and a little Prozac. Dr. John Ratey Harvard Medical school Complex movement increases executive function Cardiovascular Fitness Declines during the Years Fitness levels declined with each passing grade level, corresponding with decreasing emphasis on physical education in upper grades Fitness levels declined with each passing grade level, corresponding with decreasing emphasis on physical education in upper grades.

Military Preparedness The Department of Defense estimates that as many as 1/3 of military-age youth are ineligible for service because of their weight $1 billion spent on management of obesity and overweight in recruits In 2007, approximately 15,000 recruits failed physicals because limits in weight Obesity was most common reason for medical disqualification

Slide 21

The Problems it Causes for Learners Attendance -Overweight MS students had 25% more absences and 39% more days tardy to school relative to healthy students. Shore, et al.. Decreased Scholastic Achievement in Overweight Middle School Students. Obesity. 16 (2008): 1535-1538. Academic Achievement - BMI inversely related to academic achievement -Hillman & Castelli @ University of Illinois (2007) Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 2007, 29, 239-252 Study of 259 3 rd & 5 th graders found higher BMI associated with lower standardized test scores Behavior - BMI inversely related to behavioral incidents -Overweight kids are three times more likely more likely to have behavior problems (2003) Lumeng et al. U of Michigan study of 755, 8-11 yr olds as part of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth using the Behavior Index THE OBESITY PROBLEM Become Overweight/Obese Adults: -27% of overweight 1-5 year olds -43% of overweight 3-9 year olds, -86% of overweight 10-13 year olds [American Journal of Public Health]. By age 11 obesity is considered persistent Wardle

Get Outside & Enjoy Nature! In the last 30 years, kids walking and biking to school went from 40- 15%. Same time period, childhood obesity tripled. Mark Fenton Sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950

Literacy Physical Education LitPE is a program designed to help a specific grade that is behind, on the state wide reading assessment. Students come to the gym every day, fifteen minutes for 12 weeks. Our data shows that students who are in our 12 week class will more than double their peers and up to five the national average on the winter assessment.
