Journal ArticleDOI
Be smart, exercise your heart: exercise effects on brain and cognition
TL;DR: A growing number of studies support the idea that physical exercise is a lifestyle factor that might lead to increased physical and mental health throughout life, at the molecular, cellular, systems and behavioural levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity, fitness, cognitive function, and academic achievement in children: A systematic review
Joseph E. Donnelly,Charles H. Hillman,Darla M. Castelli,Jennifer L. Etnier,Sarah Lee,Phillip D. Tomporowski,Kate Lambourne,Amanda N. Szabo-Reed +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that PA has a relationship to areas of the brain that support complex cognitive processes during laboratory tasks, and there are positive associations among PA, fitness, cognition, and academic achievement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Fitness and Academic Achievement in Third- and Fifth-Grade Students
TL;DR: This study found that field tests of physical fitness were positively related to academic achievement and aerobic capacity was positively associated with achievement, whereas BMI was inversely related.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Mechanisms explaining these adaptations are not as yet known, but metabolic and neurochemical pathways among skeletal muscle, the spinal cord, and the brain offer plausible, testable mechanisms that might help explain effects of physical activity and exercise on the central nervous system.
