Physical Activity and Academic Performance
Physical activity among adolescents is consistently related to higher levels of self-esteem and lower levels of anxiety and stress.1Physical activity can positively affect concentration, memory, and classroom behavior.2Spending more time in physical education class did not have a negative effect on students’ standardized test scores, even though less time was available for other academic subjects.3
