Children's achievement in school is not only determined by the results of their study, exercise habits also effect the brain's ability to function and grow better.
This was revealed in a study of 14 outcome studies that have been done 12 000 students aged 8-18 years. Participants came from various countries especially the United States, Canada and South Africa.
In general, almost all studies end that physical activity during exercise is closely related to the learning achievement of the respondents. The more exercise, the better the academic achievement in schools that are marked with good grades in all subjects.
According to the researchers, physical activity during exercise may increase blood flow to the brain. One function of the blood is carrying oxygen from the lungs, so the brain is always in a fit condition because it was never a lack of oxygen.
In addition, the movement of muscles throughout the body also stimulates the production of hormones that trigger a sense of calm, so that the concentration of learning in the classroom more awake. Some studies have even said, sporting a new form the nerves that make up the brain functions.
However, scientists still have to investigate further to determine the most appropriate portion of sport to improve learning achievement. It is feared that if excessive exercise, students should feel tired and cannot learn.
