The Link Between Physical Activity and State of The Brain in School Children

Almost every fourth child in our country is transported to the school by car. This not only produces traffic scams before the schools. "Our children become more and more staggering - and this proves to be effective as the product of the brain, " says a brain researcher who is the mother of two children. "Going provenly makes children wiser, healthier and also happy, " says the expert. Referral refers to two studies in which the context between body and mental product and state of the brain in the school age have been clearly demonstrated.

At the University of Illinois, eleven year-old children were to be split into two groups and were asked for a concentration test. This group that had been walking for twenty minutes before, showed basically better results than the children "rested" - not just at concentration, but also at the examination of the lesson. "This is the case, it also shows a look in the brain with the help of measuring brains. " As such, movement activates not the blood vessel, but also the brain. Corporal activity has a very positive effect on mental productivity in the school, "said the researcher, and she appealed to parents to stop the daily taxi service since the start of the school year. “PIedirado a school of two, three kilometers is suitable for every child, Exercise the way before together - then the children will be able to do that, " she says.

The American researchers add a further step: They stress that the daily movement in child age is also sanakcela for the later life. A Danish study shows that children who go to school can concentrate themselves during the first lessons significantly better than their colleagues who are transported by their parents to school. The study was part of a large Danish project involving more than 20, 000 children at the age of five to nineteen years. "Those who are being carried out by a mom or dad are sitting in school, but their brain is still half-sleeping, " says the researcher. But the path that is going to increase is not concentration only, persistent and brain production - it also has pedagogical value.

Children are quicker to become self-esteem, they have contacts with colleagues and are generally also more enjoyable. In order for these positive effects to be realized, however, it is necessary to take care that the children can breathe enough clean air and that the way to the school should be safe.
