I recently came across an informative article, Effects of physical activity interventions on cognitive outcomes and academic performance in adolescents and young adults: A meta-analysis.
The following questions are answered in the “Conclusion.”
- There are positive effects of physical activity interventions on cognitive outcomes and academic performance within the language domain but what about grade point average in mathematics?
- In acute interventions are shorter bouts of exercise more effective that longer bouts of exercise for improving cognitive outcomes?
- What about the effect of chronic physical activity interventions vs acute physical activity interventions on cognitive outcomes?
Read the article to learn about the positive effects of physical activity interventions on cognitive outcomes in adolescents and young adults.
