Physical Activity:Research & Rationale • Research shows that school-based physical activity programs can help students increase concentration, reduce disruptive behaviors, and improve scores in mathematics, reading and writing. • Research also suggests a critical link among movement & attention, spatial perception, and learning & memory in youth and adults, including those with special needs.

  9. Physical Activity: Impact on Learning • Improves self image • Stimulates chemicals within the brain that improve mood • Reduces stress and anxiety • Can significantly improve behavior A study at the State University of New York at Buffalo showed that exercise significantly improved behavior. Children ages 5-12 diagnosed with ADHD participated in 40 minutes of exercise, five days per week. Significant behavior was evident in as few as 3 weeks.
