A fit body will make the child get good grades in school, according to a study of West Virginia University, Morgantown, United States (U.S.), as quoted by AP on Friday.
"Exercise fitness in children associated with their akedemis capabilities," said the researcher, Lesley Cottrell, who is also a teacher of Pediatrics.
Cottrell scheduled this week to present the hypothesis that the participants before the American Heart Association Conference 2010 About Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism in San Francisco, USA.
In general, the more fit a child the higher the test result, researchers such as Kathleen Cottrell Team Dohey from HealthDay.
The researchers have assessed nearly 1,200 children, measuring their fitness program in fifth grade, then in seventh grade.
They tested the children, with standard tests, in four subjects of reading, mathematics, natural science, and social sciences.
The researchers put forward the hypothesis that children who maintain fitness during the two years will get good grades and was proven.
The evaluation using the Fitness Gram test to measure fitness as the time required to run a mile and then calculate the average is included in the fitness area or not.
In every test in these four subjects, a child who runs the gym in the fifth and seventh grades keep getting an average score highest.
Those who do not fit in the fifth grade and stayed that way until the seventh grade who score low in reading, with an average value of 2.91 from scale of five.
Those who follow the fitness training in the fifth grade but did not resume training until the seventh grade had lower academic improvement, 3.03 average in reading.
Instead of children who do not follow the fitness training in the fifth grade, but then followed regularly until the seventh grade just to get the best value, an average of 3.31 in reading.
In reading the value of three or more is called a 'master'.
The emphasis on fitness, not weight, Cottrell said has breathed like good news for children with excessive body weight.
"The truth is their fitness levels are associated a better value, not their weight index," he said while denying the previous studies that indicate otherwise.
Research results were not surprising Todd Galati, a trainer and spokesperson for the physiology of the American Council on Exercise in San Diego, USA.
"These findings fit with other research that shows the same relationship between increased fitness and high test scores," he explained.
Why touch? "I believe it shows the relationship of mind and body. We have a body to be moved," he added.
Activities organized body that will produce good feelings, a healthy sugar levels, and increase focus and attention.
According to Galati and Cottrell, existing data show that schools and parents should pay more attention to the importance of physical activity.
Another study at the conference also showed the same conclusion. Researchers from the University of Maryland, College Park, 2400 involving a girl for ten years, and examined their obesity rates.
The girls with physical activity levels on average each week have levels of obesity are lower than those who are inactive, so the results of the study. (*)
