Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC): a randomized controlled trial to promote physical activity and diminish overweight and obesity in elementary school children (2009, background): “Most investigations of PA and academic achievement have used cross-sectional, correlational data between academic achievement and fitness tests (California Dept of Ed, 2001; Castelli et al., 2007; Coe et al., 2006).”
Be smart, exercise your heart: exercise effects on brain and cognition (2008, result): “Several studies have suggested that participation in physical activity has either a positive relation or is unrelated to academic performance, with differences across studies probably reflecting the techniques that were used to assess behaviour and/or the aspects of scholastic aptitude that were mea”
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”
Physical education teachers’ perceptions of perceived mattering and marginalization (2018, background): “Some teachers felt as though others depended on them and viewed their work as important because of the believed connection between physical activity and academic outcomes (Castelli et al. 2007).”
Exercise and Children’s Intelligence, Cognition, and Academic Achievement (2008, methodology): “ Castelli et al .( 2007) measured 259 third- and fifth-grade children’s physical fitness via a standardized field test (Fitnessgram) (Welk et al. 2002) that provided measures of aerobic performance, flexibility, and muscular strength.”
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Flexible Modulation of Cognitive Control in Preadolescent Children (2011, neutral): “However, in school-aged children, the selective relation of fitness to cognitive health appears to be less well understood (Hillman, Buck, Themanson, Pontifex, & Castelli, 2009 ; Buck, Hillman, & Castelli, 2008 ; Castelli, Hillman, Buck, & Erwin, 2007 ; Hillman, Castelli, & Buck, 2005 ; Sibley &”
Exercise Improves Executive Function and Achievement and Alters Brain Activation in Overweight Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2011, neutral): “…Hillman, Buck, & Erwin, 2007; Dwyer, Sallis, Blizzard, Lazarus, & Dean, 2001; Wittberg, Northrup, Cottrell, & Davis, 2010), and overweight with poorer achievement (Castelli et al., 2007; Datar, Sturm, & Magnabosco, 2004; Dwyer et al., 2001; Shore et al., 2008; Taras & Potts-Datema, 2005).”
A neuroimaging investigation of the association between aerobic fitness, hippocampal volume, and memory performance in preadolescent children (2010, neutral): “…with low physical activity levels show poorer academic achievement scores, diminished neuroelectric activity, and inferior cognitive performance compared to physically fit children (Sibley and Etnier, 2003; Hillman et al., 2005, 2009; Castelli et al., 2007; Buck et al., 2008; Chomitz et al., 2009).”
Physical Activity, Fitness, Cognitive Function, and Academic Achievement in Children: A Systematic Review. (2016, methodology): “The majority of the studies (62%, n=15) used the FITNESSGRAM® to assess fitness (14, 20, 34, 36, 38, 42, 63, 65, 78, 132, 136, 159, 162, 164, 165), and the remaining eight studies used either the one-mile run test (70), a 20-m shuttle run (54), the EUROFIT (53, 163), the Presidential Youth Fitness T”
