Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning by Embodying Words Through Physical Activity and Gesturing (2015, background): “For this reason, we agree with Sibley and Etnier (2003) that physical activity must become an inextricable part of children’s school days.”
Muscles and their myokines (2011, background): “At the other end of the age spectrum, physical activity and academic achievement display a positive correlation, as indicated by meta-analysis of smaller cohort studies of school children (Sibley and Etnier, 2003).”
Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “For example, Sibley and Etnier ’ s (2003) meta-analysis revealed a positive impact on children ’ s cognition, which did not differ as a function of the type of physical activity (i.e., resistance training, perceptual-motor training, physical education classes, and aerobic exercises) on children ’ s…”
Effects of an Acute Bout of Exercise on Cognitive Aspects of Stroop Performance (2006, background): “Several reviews of the literature have established that a positive relationship exists between exercise and cognitive performance (Brisswalter et al., 2002; Colcombe & Kramer, 2003; Etnier et al., 1997; Sibley & Etnier, 2003; Tomporowski, 2003a, 2003b).”
A Quantitative Review of Physical Activity, Health, and Learning Outcomes Associated With Classroom-Based Physical Activity Interventions (2012, background): “…physical activity and children’s learning outcomes, there has yet to be a consensus on whether physical activity truly exerts a significant effect on children’s cognitions (Bailey, 2006; Sibley & Etnier, 2003), particularly with respect to classroom-based physical activities (Ahamed et al., 2007).”
