Physical activity is the most important strategy in any program
aimed at preventing or reducing childhood obesity. In addition to
its positive health benefits, research on physical activity among
children also suggests a strong correlation between children's
fitness and their academic performance, as measured by grades in
core subjects and scores on standardised tests. Moreover, some
experts contend that physical activity provides both personal and
social benefits, including the development of leadership skills and
increased self-esteem. Schools are uniquely positioned to be an
access point for students to engage in physical activity through
physical education classes and sports teams. This book examines the
association between school-based physical activity and academic
performance, including indicators of cognitive skills and
attitudes, academic behaviours, and academic achievement; and the
corresponding health benefits.
