Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning by Embodying Words Through Physical Activity and Gesturing (2015, background): “2008), better memory function, and reaction time (Hillman et al. 2005; Tomporowski et al. 2008).”
Effects of Integrating Physical Activities Into a Science Lesson on Preschool Children's Learning and Enjoyment (2017, positive): “…physiological arousal facilitating the available attentional resources and engagement of cognitive functioning whereas multiple bouts (chronic exercise) alternate morphologically brain regions responsible for learning (Best, 2012; Brisswalter, Collardeau, & René, 2002; Tomporowski et al., 2008).”
The association between school-based physical activity, including physical education, and academic performance: a systematic review of the literature. (2011, background): “There is a growing body of research focused on the association between school-based physical activity, including physical education, and academic performance among school-aged youth (Castelli et al., 2007; Sibley and Etnier, 2003; Strong et al., 2005; Taras, 2005; Tomporowski et al., 2008; Trost, 20”

Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “(e.g., Tomporowski et al. 2008).”
The effect of exercise-induced arousal on cognitive task performance: a meta-regression analysis. (2010, background): “The results of these studies have been summarized in narrative (Tomporowski, 2003; Tomporowski et al., 2008) and quantitative reviews (Sibley and Etnier, 2003).”
The Function of Play in the Development of the Social Brain. (2010, background): “While the changes in the muscles are typically short term, there is some evidence that exercise affects brain structure and function, and this effect may be longer lasting when it occurs early in childhood (Tomporowski et al. 2008).”
Physical activity and academic achievement in children: A historical perspective (2012, background): “24 Cognition encompasses a wide array of mental processes including, but not limited to, attention, executive functions, and perception.”
Effects of Physical Activity on Children’s Executive Function: Contributions of Experimental Research on Aerobic Exercise (2010, background): “This improvement, in turn, may improve cognitive functioning, which is assessed after the aerobic exercise program has ended (Tomporowski, Davis, Miller, et al., 2008).”
The Influence of Exercise on Cognitive Abilities (2013, positive): “A growing literature base is beginning to develop on this topic, with the available data indicating that fitness has either a positive relationship or no relationship to scholastic measures of cognition (22,88,176,179).”
