A Quantitative Review of Physical Activity, Health, and Learning Outcomes Associated With Classroom-Based Physical Activity Interventions (2012, methodology): “…recommended levels of physical activity and positively influence facilitators of learning, such as behavior and comprehension (Erwin, Abel, Beighle, & Physical Activity, Health, and Learning Outcomes 31 Beets, 2009; Erwin, Beighle, Morgan, & Noland, 2011; Mahar et al., 2006; Ulrich & Swalm, 2007).”
Elementary classroom teachers' adoption of physical activity promotion in the context of a statewide policy: An innovation diffusion and socio-ecologic perspective (2013, background): “Studies have demonstrated that PAPAC is a viable and effective means for increasing children’s physical activity (Bartholomew & Jowers, 2011, Erwin, Beighle, Morgan, & Noland, 2011; Holt, Heelan, & Bartee, 2012; Mahar et al., 2006).”
Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “The role of school-based physical activity programs in increasing physical activity during the school day either through recess or breaks or by integrating physical activity with academic content has been investigated in several studies (Bartholomew and Jowers 2011; Castelli et al. 2011; Davis et al”
Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning by Embodying Words Through Physical Activity and Gesturing (2015, methodology): “For instance, it has been found that a classroom-based physical activity program, such as the BEnergizers,^ can be effective for increasing daily in-school physical activity and enhancing on-task behavior during instruction time (Mahar et al. 2006).”
Effects of Integrating Physical Activities Into a Science Lesson on Preschool Children's Learning and Enjoyment (2017, neutral): “Best, R. M., Dockrell, J. E., & Braisby, N. R. (2006).”
Movement-Based Mathematics: Enjoyment and Engagement without Compromising Learning through the EASY Minds Program. (2017, background): “…have demonstrated that embedding physical activity across the school day not only increases children‟s physical activity levels (Bartholomew & Jowers, 2011; Mahar et al., 2006; Riley, Lubans, Morgan, & Young, 2015), but also improves children‟s learning outcomes (Donnelly & Lambourne, 2011).”
Effect of classroom-based physical activity interventions on academic and physical activity outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Curriculum-focussed active breaks: short bouts of physical activity that include curriculum content [25, 26].”
Schools and Obesity Prevention: Creating School Environments and Policies to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (2009, neutral): “behavior and self-esteem, and more engagement in and connectedness to school and on-task behavior (Mahar et al. 2006; Trudeau and Shephard 2008).”
„… because there’s nobody who can just sit that long“ (2016, background): “both physical and cognitive/academic benefits for children (Bartholomew and Jowers, 2011; CDC, 2010; Donnelly and Lambourne, 2011; Goh et al., 2014; Mahar et al., 2006; Riley et al., 2015).”
