According to a recent systematic review of literature by the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, participation in physical activity is positively related to academic performance in children. The researchers used 14 different studies which included children ranging in numbers from as little as 50 to as many as 12000.
According to the authors:
"Physical activity and sports are generally promoted for their positive effect on children's physical health; regular participation in physical activity in childhood is associated with a decreased cardiovascular risk in youth and adulthood. There is also a growing body of literature suggesting that physical activity has beneficial effects on several mental health outcomes, including health-related quality of life and better mood states.
In addition there is a strong belief that regular participation in physical activity is linked to enhancement of brain function and cognition, thereby positively influencing academic performance.There are several hypothesized mechanisms for why exercise is beneficial for cognition, including:
1. Increased blood and oxygen flow to the brain 2. Increased levels of norepinephrine and endorphins resulting in a reduction of stress and an improvement of mood 3. Increased growth factors that help to create new nerve cells and support synaptic plasticity
The increasing pressures to improve academic scores often lead to additional instructional time for subjects such as mathematics and language at the cost of time for being physically active. Given the suggested relationship and the ongoing discussions on the replacement of physical education lessons by academic subjects, we aimed to review the evidence on the longitudinal relationship between these two variables
To summarize, the literature provides inconclusive evidence on the positive longitudinal relationship between physical activity and academic performance. However, there is a strong general belief that this relationship is present, and research in this area is ongoing."
