Abstract
Introduction. The benefits of physical activity for children include: better motor skills, improved physical and mental health, and lower obesity risk. It's widely known that children's physical activity behaviour is influenced by their social and physical environment. Current guidelines for children aged 5-18 recommend 60 minutes of physical activity per day, as well as reduced sitting time. Physically active children are better able to learn. Physical activity improves executive functions, the ability to concentrate, memory, and intellectual performance (Tomporowski et al, 2008; Trudeau and Shephard, 2008). Furthermore, quality physical education has the potential to confer other benefits, such as conflict resolution, goal setting, and team building that can also contribute to improved academic performance. According to a research brief published by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2007), 11 out of 14 studies published between 1967 and 2006 found a positive association between regular participation in physical activity and improved academic performance. Structured physical activity such as that provided in physical education classes and organized sports, is more consistently associated with better school results than unstructured activity (Fredericks and Eccles, 2006; Mahoney et al., 2005; nMahoney and Stattin, 2000). Numerous studies showed the relationship between participation in sports and several academic outcomes, including: improved grades, increased time spent doing homework, educational and occupational aspirations, self-esteem, college enrollment, eventual educational attainment, reduced drop-out rate, better occupational status, higher wages, and higher scores on standardized tests (Rosewater, 2009). Experts have also observed that skills learned during structured physical activity – such as planning and persistence – also contribute to achievement in the school setting (Rosewater, 2009). [...].
