Building and promoting healthy habits can make children healthier, happier
and academically more successful throughout their life.
Interaction with technology, urbanized living, academic pressures and other factors have combined to create historically low rates of youth physical activity, a major cause of childhood obesity and the beginning of unhealthy trends that can impact children throughout their lives. About one-third of American children are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and fewer than 25% of children get the recommended 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical active per day recommended by the American Medical Association. Children who are active 60-minutes per day demonstrate lower rates of obesity.
Top 10 reasons why children should exercise
Children who are active 60 minutes per day demonstrate lower rates of obesity.
Greater rates of activity in children have been associated with higher test scores in reading and math.
Physical (body) and cognitive (brain) development go hand-in-hand. While this continues for life, this relationship is most critical at a young age. When kids are active, their brain develops, allowing for new types of activity.
Play-based activity that requires a high degree of sensory input (sight, sound, touch, etc.) helps develop a broad array of skills that make physical activity more enjoyable later in life.
Frequent physical activity has been associated with improved behavior in the classroom and beyond.
It appears that active children are more likely to become active adults.
Aerobic activity has been shown to increase the size of essential brain structures and number of neural connections.
Activities requiring balance and coordination have been associated with improved emotional response.
Frequent exercise decreases symptoms of depression and anxiety in children.
Regular exercise with children promotes self-efficacy with regard to health and self-image.
Scientific research has shown that exercise can improve students’ grades
Exercise increases a child’s attention span
Studies have shown that exercising before a test helps increase the volume of the basal ganglia – a part of the brain that helps with executive control, function and attention.
Exercise enhances a child’s ability to concentrate
Children who are physically active tend to be able to focus on any given task for a longer period of time.
Physical activity improves memory
In a study published in “Brain Research”, 9- and 10-year old kids, who were physically fit, had larger hippocampi than their peers; this in turn translated to better memory task performance.
Exercise boosts confidence
Regular physical activity increases confidence and self esteem in all areas of life, including academics. Students who are more confident are better problem solvers.
Exercise reduces stress and anxiety
We can all relate to having pre-test jitters. What if I fail? What if my pencil breaks? A quick burst of activity can help clear the mind, reduce stress and crush those negative thoughts.
Physical activity heightens creativity
Sometimes doing well on a test requires more than a little creativity. Physical activity has been shown to improve convergent and divergent thinking, leading to an increase in creative problem solving ability.
The benefits of physical activity increase over time
The longer-term mental health benefits are even greater. Over time, exercise can increase students’ neuroplasticity, allowing them to form new pathways in their brains and become faster learners. It also increases the amount of oxygen flowing to the brain and releases neurotransmitters and neurotrophins that support higher learning and thinking.
Exercise as a family does double duty
