Can getting kids moving get their brains moving as well? Studies suggest that exercise can in fact make children smarter. The New York Times highlights a few recent studies which prove this very point:
Previous studies found that fitter kids generally scored better on such tests. And in this case, too, those children performed better on the tests. But the M.R.I.’s provided a clearer picture of how it might work. They showed that fit children had significantly larger basal ganglia, a key part of the brain that aids in maintaining attention and “executive control,” or the ability to coordinate actions and thoughts crisply.
Just think what 20-60 minutes of running can do for your brain!!!
