  12. Benefits of Continuing Physical Education throughout Secondary School Did You Know ?? “Children who are more physically active are also more academically fit, resulting in better scores in math and reading, higher grades, greater perceptual skill and overall academic readiness.” [The 2009 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, released in collaboration with ParticipACTION and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute – Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (CHEO-HALO)] "Being active feeds the brain, giving active kids an academic advantage over their peers who are more sedentary," says Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Active Healthy Kids Canada. "Unfortunately, in our eagerness to ensure academic success, we've cut out time for activity in the school day and devoted it to sedentary study," says Tremblay. "But research shows that reducing physical activity does not improve academic ability or test scores. Kids need to get up and move more to enhance physical and intellectual health and success at school.” Active Healthy Kids Canada
