Amika Singh“Based on the results of our studywe can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance. There arefirstPhysiological explanationslike more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brainBeing physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙)produced like endorphins(内啡肽)And endorphins make your stress level lower and? your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”

Alsostudents involved in organized sports learn rules and how to follow themThis could improve their classroom behavior and help them keep their mind on their work

The study leaves some questions unansweredhoweverMsStash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvementThis is because of differences among the studies .

Alsothey were mostly observational studiesAn observational study is where researchers do not do controlled comparisonsThey only describe what they observeSo they might observe a link that students who are more active often have better gradesBut that does not necessarily mean being active was the cause of those higher grades

The researchers said they found only two high - quality studiesThey called for more high-

quality studies to confirm their findingsThey also pointed out that “outcomes for other parts of the world may be quite different. ”
