It is important for students to have regular daily physical activity. This is not only good for their body but also for their mind. Physical activity can lead to better overall performance on tests and studies have shown it is good for overall emotional well-being.
->Aerobic activity boosts Learning
Aerobic exercise can promote improvements in cognition, leading to an increase in academic performance. Exercise not only fosters better physical health, but also serves to improve school performance for students.
->Mental Health
Our student's mental health is also greatly impacted by physical activity. Exercise can help control students' stress response and their emotional and physical feelings of stress. Students who add physical activity in their life can see an increase in their confidence levels and their social connections with peers.
->Depression
Aerobic exercise is known to have a positive impact on depressive symptoms. Endorphins are produced in the brain during exercise and they are known to assist in feeling calm and improve overall well-being. As educators we must encourage daily physical activity amongst our students.
