Children and Physical Activity
Topic Info
When schools cut physical education programs so students can spend more time in the classroom, they may be missing a golden opportunity to promote learning, according to research to be presented Sunday, May 1, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Denver. The authors of this study, Dr. Kathryn King and Dr. Carly Scahill, come on the show to discuss the study and how we can help our communities to see that physical activity can increase academic scores.

The study adds to growing evidence that exercise is good not only for the body but also the mind. It also shows that physical education and academic instruction need not be mutually exclusive.
